New information and communication technologies (NICT) have been used frequently as pedagogic and didactic strategies searching for a better learning for complexes concepts. This work was carried out in the discipline of Advanced Scientific Education in the Biochemistry Master Course at Pernambuco Federal University. Its aim was to evaluate the utilization of NICT for teaching and subject learning in biochemistry regarding its contributions, limitations and effects in the scientific concepts. Students were submitted to two experiments. In the first the software Scientific Methods was presented (30 min long) and students were evaluated via a pos-test. In the second the students were introduced to the software accompanied by a constructivist methodology. Students from the first experiment presented a 52% learning percentage related to the subject in which 75% considered the new strategy appropriate. In the second experiment the learning percentage was of 92%. The results indicated that the association of a NTIC and the constructivist methodology was much more adequate for learning. The use of NITC increased possibility of learning-teaching strategy when summed to a pedagogic orientation and coherent instructional modeling. Educators should have in mind that three elements are important and fundamental in the process of learning. These are the methodology used, the pedagogic approach and its format. Ensemble, they shall contribute to become the learning-teaching process more efficient.
