Otras historias de la innovación

Abstract

The concepts of innovation, change and improvement in education seem to have arisen in the 1990s. However, it is obvious that, at least in our recent history, education has undergone innovation, changes and there have been some improvements. In the eighties I personally lived two stories that were experiences of in- novation. One of these was when I was a member of the Education Council, as part of the Pedagogical Renewal Movements in Castilla y León. These movements promoted changes that the educational world required. The other experience was meeting, at the beginning of my professional career, colleagues who showed me that changes could be achieved at the Univer- sity. To accomplish such changes, we had to start being innovative. What I am recounting here is what both experiences meant to me. But I would also like to transmit the idea that they were experiences of innovation.
