This paper describes how a group of students in an adaptation course in the Pedagogy degree at the University of Murcia perceived and evaluated an innovation based on the implementation of active methodologies during the 2009-10 academic year. The students’ views on the the new methodological procedures were collected by means of a questionnaire that included a number of dimensions of the teaching-learning process directly related to the innovation: methodology, individual tutorials, group tutorials, student participation and external activities. In additionto the high score given to the degree of coordination between the different subjects, the following activities were regarded as very positive by the students: (i) external activities, perceived as opportunities to develop their practical skills; (ii) individual tutorials, which allowed them to get help in order to solve their problems; (iii) group tutorials, which enabled a closer relationship with peers and the teacher; and (iv) work in small groups, regarded as very suitable to promote learning. A final conclusion of the study is that the questionnaire used allowed us to capture students’ perceptions of the methodologies used in class in a reliable and valid way.
