“Measuring Innovation in Education: A New Perspective, Educational

Research and Innovation.”

Do teachers innovate? Do they try different pedagogical approaches?Are practices within classrooms and educational organisations changing?And to what extent can change be linked to improvements?

Necessity of Innovation

The ability to measure innovation is essential to an improvement strategy in education.

Knowing whether, and how much, practices are changing within classrooms and educational organisations,

how teachers develop and use their pedagogical resources, and to what extent change can be linked to improvements would provide a substantial increase in the international education knowledge base.

Measuring Innovation in Education offers new perspectives to address this need for measurement in educational innovation through a comparison of innovation in education to innovation in other sectors

identification of specific innovations across educational systems, and construction of metrics to examine the relationship between educational innovation and changes in educationaloutcomes.
