The purpose of the research was to analyze the practice of the 5E methodology in the philosophy course in students at a private university in Lima in order to identify its contributions, purposes, characteristics, advantages and educational competencies developed. This qualitative research used the focus group technique with its semi-structured guide as an instrument. The information was analyzed with inductive coding. The results show that 5E is an active, innovative, and learner-centered learning and teaching methodology; it allows connecting real-life situations to learning and dialoguing theory with the real and vital world. It contributes to meaningful, deep, authentic, and lasting learning. It develops complex academic and socio-personal competencies. Its advantage lies in the fact that it makes students the protagonists of their learning and changes the role of students and teachers compared to traditional teaching. The conclusions show that the 5E methodology is relevant to current education and student-centered and should be replicated at different levels, educational contexts, and curricula.
