This article presents a proposal for teaching Qualitative Methods in Higher Education. We propose a teaching design that combines theory and research practice, using a digital portfolio. We argue this design allows students to better integrate what they learnt in this domain, which undergraduate students often find difficult. The proposed teaching design was implemented in the two undergraduate programs that comprise the Social Sciences and Humanities at the Universidad Autónoma de Chile, Talca. Our results show that a significant percentage of students passed the course with good grades. A correlation between levels of attendance and grades was also found. Student feedback was positive, focusing on the systematic and collaborative character of this methodology. It also highlighted aspects that should be improved in future experiences. Our results suggest that integrating theory and practice favors students' performance in the course, showing that communicability of evaluation standards must be improved.

Keywords : instructional design; higher educaction; transferable skills; qualitative methodology.
