**5. Final thoughts**

First, it should be remembered that large courses are common in institutions of higher education. Therefore, before continuing to renege on the disadvantages and drawbacks of this reality, it is necessary to innovate on how it is possible to better assume this challenge.

However, the role of educational research is vital, especially in the understanding of how to make these kinds of classes more effective, considering the current and future cultural characteristics of students who will enter higher education. Increasingly, the demands for quality education and teaching encourage us to have better and greater tools to meet this challenge.

Finally, it is the task of the whole university community to face the challenge of making the classroom, the teaching, and the learning processes of the twenty-first century more meaningful in higher education. The problem is not the size of classes, but how we are supporting the current and future generation of students who attend our universities for a training that effectively prepares them to face their professional future and the challenges of society.
