Abstract

Educational innovation is key to transforming teaching and responding to the challenges of the
21st century. Its implementation encompasses active methodologies, emerging technologies, and
pedagogical approaches such as constructivism and connectivism, which promote autonomous and
collaborative learning. Technology has played a crucial role, especially with the use of cloud platforms
and hybrid models that emerged after the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the main challenges is teacher
training, as many teachers lack preparation in innovative methodologies. In addition, assessing the
impact of innovation remains a key challenge. Despite these obstacles, current research highlights the potential of educational innovation to improve teaching, strengthen digital skills, and promote dynamic
and personalised learning environments.
