The constant changes of the modern world and the technological advances have driven Education to find innovative ways to promote knowledge. The construction of concept maps can be innovative, assisting in the teaching-learning process based on the active action of the ones involved. Thus, we aimed to report the use of the methodology of concept maps building as a teaching-learning tool in health area, using a teaching experience report. Thirty students from the 8th period of an evening undergraduate course and a monitor took part in the experience. Our results demonstrated that the use of concept maps for the systematization of concepts was well accepted by the students and that this strategy is understood as an innovative differential practice for meaningful learning under the educator’s point of view. We conclude that innovative methodological practices, which allow the student to actively participate in the teaching-learning process, can be reflected in the construction of his academic career and generate positive impacts on his professional dynamics.
