The study's methodology is qualitative and field research type. Its participants were 25 students of the final year of program the aforementioned from a private institution of higher education located in the interior of São Paulo state. The disciplines selected for developing actions were: Methodology of Physical Education in Basic EducationII, Course Completion Seminar and Supervised Internship. The research results indicate that the use of cases in the Physical Education course provides both the professor and the students with results that are positive and necessary for their professional performance. Also, when teaching is developed in a committed way and from a critical and reflective pedagogical practice by means of exciting challenges, both the professor and the students achieve positive results. For this, professors need to extricate themselves from the routine and the "comfort zone" afforded by class lectures and classes rooted in traditional methodologies.
