This study aims to report the experience of teaching in courses directed to basic and professional education in a Nursing Teaching Diploma Program, reflecting specifically on the implications of the problemsolving methodology for the faculty work. Working with this methodology demands constant reflection and dialogue among the faculty involved, and continuous attention in recreating the daily routine in the clas sroom, preventing that stages proposed in the pedagogical cycle become mere moments to be accomplished from the technical point of view. It is essential to create spaces for the reflective processes and for the construction of responsible autonomy by students. There are, in addition, demand from the institution related to the organization and valorization of the faculty work in the university, also involving continuing effort on pedagogical education of professors.
