For this, it was utilized as tool of data gathering two questionnaires applied before (diagnostic) and after (evaluation) to the realization of an activity involving the work project method. The first part of the research revealed that the great majority of the students do not realize any kind of articulation between what is taught in high school and the relation of those with his/her professional formation. It was also proved that there is not by the teachers the necessary preoccupation in contextualize the knowledge, as well as establish bonds of this know with other subjects. With the development of the project, it was verified a change of the student attitude in relation to the process of teaching and learning, remarkably by the active way that they participated of the activities, by the autonomy and flexibility reached specially by the innovative character of the method in relation to the traditional model. The globalization of information, features of the work with projects, it approximated the different subjects around the theme of study, improving the process of disciplinary articulation and minimizing the fragmentation of knowledge. The projects of work represent a conceptual change in the docent practice by the dynamic and innovation that the method brings to the teaching process.
