Afavorir innovacions que canviïn la gramàtica de l’escola i les relacions pedagògiques, i que qüestionin la creació d’un subjecte neoliberal

Resumen

Given the present interest in promoting educational innovations in order to stimulate the creation of innovative and advanced networks of schools, this article seeks to contribute to the current educational effervescence in Catalonia by exploring the following topics: a) situating a genealogy that could help to draw the relationship between innovation and schools; b) reviewing some of the research contributions related to change and transformation in education that can shed light on the conditions that can make possible a process of change rooted in the life of each school without becoming trend-linked innovation; c) reflecting on the close relationship between some educational innovations and the formation of neoliberal subjects; and d) taking advantage of the current desire for innovation in order to think about and make visible schools’ educational cultures and to plan processes of change with strategies that are not top-down but rather which take into account the needs, knowledge, and values of each educational community.Keywords: Transformation, educational change, neoliberalism, school culture, social values.
