The aim of this paper is to present different implemented innovations in education focused on the specific course “Industrial Constructions” at Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales (ETSII) Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM), that for more than ten years have been adopted, in order to propose a more adequate framework for learning and evaluation. This paper reports on the outcomes of a research study to clarify the role of class size and identify other constraints to the success of innovative actions. The research covers several years and it includes different number of students´ groups through that period. The course has been included in diverse educative programs over time, but also varied innovative actions have been implemented as well, including experiential learning with practical perspective and magisterial lessons approach, and experiential learning combined with flipped classroom and gamification, etc. The linear perspective of the research allows to compare different instances as well as the conclusions and feelings from teachers´ perspective in accordance. It is not claimed a fully rigorous statistical robustness in the comparison because there are many uncontrolled variables, therefore, it is highlighted that the comparison is a qualitative one, with high added value from the teacher’s perspective. The analysis shows some expected results regarding the size of the groups but also other interesting results regarding motivation and students´ skills that can contribute to enhance teachers´ perspective in their selection of the best methodology. Resumen El objetivo de este articulo es presentar diferentes metodologias innovadoras en educacion realizadas en el curso de “Construcciones Industriales” durante mas de diez anos en la Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales (ETSII) de la Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, para proponer una estructura de aprendizaje y evaluacion. Este estudio presenta los resultados de la investigacion sobre la influencia del tamano de clase e identificar otras limitaciones con el exito de las acciones de innovacion educativa. En los diez anos en los que se ha realizado esta investigacion participan grupos de clase con diferentes numeros de estudiantes. Esta asignatura se ha impartido en diversos programas docentes y con diferentes metodologias, como son clase magistral y aprendizaje practico de trabajo de grupo, y aprendizaje practico con clase invertida y gamificacion. La vision de la investigacion permite comparar distintos casos asi como las conclusiones conforme a las opiniones y puntos de vista de los profesores. No se trata de un estudio comparativo con un alto rigor estadistico debido al numero de variables adicionales, por lo que se subraya que las conclusiones del estudio son cualitativas con un alto valor del enfoque del profesor. El analisis muestra algunos resultados esperados respecto el tamano de la clase, pero tambien otros resultados interesantes en cuanto a la motivacion y competencias de los alumnos que pueden contribuir a mejorar el enfoque de los profesores en la seleccion de la mejor metodologia.
