SANCHO-GIL, Juana M.. Innovation and teaching. From the “fashion” of innovation to the transformation of teaching practice. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2018, vol.41, n.1, pp.12-20. ISSN 1981-2582.  https://doi.org/10.15448/1981-2582.2018.1.29523.

The world is made up of a set of permanent changes and the field of education is no exception. This article begins by situating the (in)constancy of change, its drifts and paradoxes and continues with a brief note on the evolution of educational ideas, to raise the challenges posed by the imperative of innovation at the present time. From this point on, it is argued that going beyond innovation as "fashion" requires a profound transformation of educational practice, for which it is necessary to take into account five key elements: who teachers and students are, how they learn and what their needs are; what kind of knowledge is considered important to teach in order to make it personal and socially valuable for the students; what educational technologies should be used or developed to contribute to achieving the goals set; what learning experiences should be implemented to promote students’ engagement and the meaning of learning; what assessment systems are needed to account for the learning undertaken.

Keywords : Educational Change; Curriculum; Educational Development; Educational Technology; Evaluation.
