The promotion of educational innovation of ICT in schools. The case of the Caribbean region of Colombia

Abstract

This paper analyzes the factors related to the institutional context of official schools, which have contributed to the promotion of innovative educational experiences mediated by ICT. This information emerged from the  analysis of data collected in a project framed within the empirical-positivist paradigm, through a  survey filled out by 172 rectors of education institutions, 1-α = 95% and applied ee = ± 5%,  representative of the Colombian Caribbean region. The results help us to estimate the profile of  innovative institutions in the ICT area; the institutional perception about the use of these  teaching strategies and those of integration carried out by such institutions, when compared to  those non-classified as such; and the factors that influence the development of institutions with  capacity to generate innovative educational experiences, mediated by resources and technological devices.
