Educational innovation

Educational innovation involves focusing classroom dynamics towards new trends. For this purpose it is necessary to make effective changes in teaching practices and to adapt them to the specific contexts of their creation. The inclusion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has led to most of the advances in the field of education over the last three decades. This is due to the fact that the role of ICT is not only reduced to the provision of new teaching tools, but has also led to the continuous introduction of new approaches to essential elements of education: (1) teaching programs; (2) learning; (3) teaching; and (4) work relationships among teachers, students and other actors. The works that make up this track deal with certain of these aspects through the contribution of results obtained from research proving that innovation processes developed from emerging technologies are changing school dynamics, which could ultimately involve major changes in educational processes, schools, classrooms and teacher training.
