▪ Understand the concepts of creativity and innovation as applied to teaching.

1. Something that can be diagnosed or precisely measured—current tests lack scientific consensus.

2. Being funny or telling jokes.

3. Being clever or quick-witted.

4. Having an interest in arts or crafts—manual or artistic skills do not necessarily mean creativity.

5. Being restless or hyperactive—activity or energy doesn't equal creative ability.

Creativity must be useful and valuable, not just different or eccentric.

La dimensión social y cultural

La creatividad combina actitud, aptitudes y trabajo disciplinado utilizando métodos y técnicas. No solo es juzgada por el creador, sino también por expertos en la materia. En la educación, el profesor suele desempeñar esta función evaluadora.

• Creativity is generating new and appropriate ideas.

• Innovation is the successful application of those ideas in real-world settings.

Creativity is about ideation, while innovation is about implementation. Creativity is often subjective and hard to measure; innovation is objective, measurable, and aims to bring sustainable change and value.

• Research: Generating new knowledge for potential use.

• Development: Using existing knowledge to design or improve products or processes.

• Innovation: Goes beyond R&D by applying knowledge in a real context with the goal of achieving a beneficial, sustainable impact.

Innovation focuses on action and real-world application, not just theoretical or preparatory work.

A concise definition:

Innovation is original ideas that generate social or economic value in a sustainable way.

WHAT IT ISN´T INNOVATION?

Simply improving something that already exists. Improvement is conservative and follows an established path with predictable outcomes, while innovation seeks to introduce true change

According to Axel Rivas, innovation in education:

Recognizes the limits of traditional education and alters it to benefit 21st-century learning rights.

Other authors add:

• Jaume Carbonell: Educational innovation introduces changes to modify current practices and improve teaching and learning processes.

• Jesús Salinas: Innovation involves planned, theory-based actions that transform educational practices.

• Francesc Imbernón: It is a collective inquiry process that generates new ideas to solve problems in educational contexts, leading to institutional change.

1. The action and effect of introducing changes or novelties.
