Apdes’s “Project Innovate”: a new process of institutional collaborative innovation through the practice of reflective practice
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article details the documented experience which was implemented in 21 of Apdes’s centers in Argentina, and was based on an institution-wide collaborative approach to innovation. By assigning principals a leadership role in the practice of critical reflection carried out by groups of teachers, they became empowered as agents for change and were able to observe the complete process, to better evaluate themselves and course-adjust on their own.
Throughout the experience, polls and other methods/tools? were used to collect information about what innovation meant to teachers and how motivated they were to innovate. These methods also introduced the possibility of evaluating every step in the process. Furthermore, they allowed the opportunity to measure the participant’s level of commitment, as well as the obstacles that arose and the changes in how necessary the project was believed to be. An analysis of the gathered data made clear that the critical reflection method put into practice made an impact in facilitating communal innovation in education.
