There's a need of new methodologies to assist the learner in the perception of their learning processes. This paper reports the use of metacognitive strategies to teach scientific method to 23 graduate health students. Based on the constructivist approach we used techniques of mobilization to promote cognitive conflict between the beliefs of students about scientific thinking and simulated tasks for a scientific methodology course. A reflective journal was used to encourage the student awareness of their learning processes and as a tool for observation of individual differences in receiving information and possible knowledge transfers.It was concluded that the reports allowed observe widespread effects on the behavior and thinking of students.
