In recent years, especially in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting social isolation measures, Distance Education gained even more notoriety and discussion within the academic space. One of the themes most present in these discussions concerns the use of active learning methodologies in their teaching-learning process. However, as research shows, it is noticeable the existence of difficulties in implementing these active methodologies in Distance Education, which put at risk the development of student learning and enable the reproduction of the traditional form of teaching, in which the teacher assumes a role of carrier and transmitter of knowledge. With the current immediate transposition of face-to-face teaching for Distance Education, this scenario may worsen. Given this consideration, the objective of this article is to demonstrate, through a bibliographic and documentary review, what are the main factors that have hindered the implementation of active methodologies in the field of Distance Education in higher education and the possible ways to be followed in order to mitigate and solve such difficulties in implementing this type of methodology in the distance modality.
