Content:
The school is transformed because society is transformed. If the school changes, it is because the students and their way of learning change. Everything happens in such a fast way that, very often, education goes behind.
For some time now we have lived not in a time of change, but in a change of time. In the world of education, changing the school to respond to new challenges becomes an imperative. In recent years, educational innovation has emerged strongly in speeches and collective imaginary. There are also a series of contradictions and interests around innovation and school, which are not always explicit and must be disclosed. To make it possible, the first step is to avoid simplification.
The paradoxes of educational innovation make a necessary contribution to innovation, from knowledge and rigorous analysis, with an international vision and with the intention of enriching both its debate and understanding and its relationship with the improvement of educational practice.
This book will forcefully interest teachers who innovate in classrooms, those responsible for educational policies and researchers and experts committed to educational action. And, above all, to those who, without avoiding complexity, ask questions about the how and what of education and school today, with the aim of extending the right to education to all, and favoring the learning opportunities of each and every student.
