Aim: This article aims to identify students' perspectives and experiences regarding the use of project methodology in their learning process, highlighting the strengths and areas for improvement. It focuses on how students view this approach, exploring both the positive and challenging aspects, and ultimately, assessing its effectiveness as perceived by the students themselves. Method: A quantitative, descriptive, and analytical study was carried out using a questionnaire created with Artificial Intelligence (AI) support and approved by the faculty members. The participants referred to this research article with confidentiality have been given adequate information about the study and voluntarily agreed to participate. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software. Results: The study included 64 students, mostly from the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing program, followed by the Postgraduate Course in Healthcare Services Management. The dimensions “pedagogical articulation”, “student collaboration and autonomy,” and “pedagogical effectiveness” received positive agreement rates of 74.5%, 79.7%, and 67.1%, respectively. The “competency development” dimension achieved a high agreement rate (82.3%). Strengths highlighted included “continuous mentoring,” “execution autonomy,” and “critical thinking development.” Areas for improvement mentioned were “execution time”' and “lack of a project guideline”. Conclusion and Implications: Project-based methodology is a powerful tool, but its success depends on continuous adjustments and commitment from all stakeholders in the educational process. Furthermore, integrating it with interdisciplinary practices could enhance its effectiveness in preparing students for real-world professional challenges.
