Resumen

El cambio educativo y la innovación son hoy una clara prioridad en los centros educativos de todo el mundo. Este artículo analiza las fortalezas y las oportunidades que presenta el proceso de innovación educativa que se está viviendo en Cataluña des de la perspectiva de los directores de centro, y plantea una metodología cuanti-cualitativa, mediante 227 encuestas y 29 entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los resultados sitúan el proceso de innovación en una fase caracterizada por los esfuerzos en actualizar las prácticas existentes, las resistencias al cambio provocadas por el propio sistema y la falta de reflexión sistemática sobre la misma acción. Se constatan dos fortalezas del proceso, como son su amplitud y su transversalidad en todo el territorio, así como la importancia que está teniendo la colaboración entre docentes y entre centros para impulsar la innovación. También se detecta la necesidad de una mayor planificación de los procesos de innovación; la necesidad de reflexión por parte del Departamento de Enseñanza entorno a su rol dentro del proceso; y finalmente la necesidad de ahondar en el rol de las tecnologías como facilitadores de la innovación y la comunicación.

This article analyses the strengths and opportunities presented by the process of educational innovation taking place in Catalonia from the perspective of school head teachers, employing a quanti-qualitative methodology using 227 surveys and 29 semi-structured interviews.

Two strengths of the process reported relate to its scale and transversality across the whole territory on the one hand, and the importance that collaboration between teachers and schools is having in order to facilitate innovation.
