The study employed an exploratory and qualitative methodology, utilizing a questionnaire administered to the entire teaching staff of the university and conducting a focus group with professors from various courses. The objective was to ascertain the extent and manner in which pop culture information is incorporated into classroom instruction. The findings revealed diverse pedagogical opportunities, employing gaming formats such as RPGs, films, series, and music. Nevertheless, challenges were also identified about the process of organizing and the level of approval of certain material among the student population.
