Sumario:[EN] Current learning theories promote the employment of active methodologies, placing the learner at the centre of the learning process as protagonist. Both problem and case-based learning, methodologies embracing this perspective, have been widely used in health sciences. Other intrinsic factors key to learning such as self perception, motivation and confidence also play an important role in the learning process and outcomes. This paper focuses on student perceptions of ‘Labyrinth’, a web-based application which permitted learners to solve cases requiring electrotherapy treatment. An anonymous online questionnaire was developed to evaluate students´ perceptions of how ‘Labyrinth’ contributes to and supports learning. The contents of the questionnaire aimed to raise awareness in the learner of the importance of personal effort and self-motivation in achieving learning goals. Direct and relevant correlations were found between students perceptions about the global utility of ‘Labyrinth’, and their self-perceived levels of confidence, motivation, effort and cognitive development during the use of the application. These findings highlight the need for reflection on these intrinsic learning factors in order that awareness and consequent development of key learning habits are encouraged.
