Abstract

Innovating in education today implies a planned process that requires the participation, ideas, knowledge, and positive attitudes of diverse educational actors to generate an enabling environment to improvements and transformations of the stablished norms in a given educational reality. In this article a narrative review is carried out based on a Google Scholar search of electronic journals indexed in international databases, published mainly between the years 2020 and 2025, which address the concept of educational innovation from diverse theoretical perspectives. It considers the factors that influence both its practical implementation and the development of the competence to innovate in teaching performance, the action of research based on pedagogical needs, and the planning and evaluation of the process to address the challenges of 21st-century schools, from a perspective of social responsibility and community impact. It is concluded that innovating in education arises from needs for improvement or transformation that require detailed planning of an innovative project that facilitates the delivery of concrete and realistic solutions that ensure their quality and appreciation within the educational community.
