Today's lighting design covers the evaluation of impacts on health and visual comfort, energy efficiency, compliance with metrics and incorporation of new technologies. This makes professional practice and lighting teaching quite complex. This study evaluated the discipline "Natural and Artificial Lighting", of Federal University of Minas Gerais, Architecture and Urban Planning Course verifying the efficiency of the teaching methodologies adopted. After a literature review on the subject, a questionnaire was developed, with answers weighted in order of priority to determine their perceived relevance or treated on a Likert scale from +2 to -2 in order to evaluate the practice’s effectiveness. It was concluded that the elaboration of a project with the construction of a physical model was a practice considered as essential for the learning of daylighting, solar geometry and even artificial lighting, but also that the integration of several methodologies strengthens the learning with good acceptance of all the proposed practices.
