ABSTRACT

The institutional drive to implement innovation in higher education institutions, in line with the goals of the European Higher Education Area, is insufficient to achieve the effective implementation, as it is conditioned by a number of factors, most importantly, the motivation and training of university teachers. This study aims to analyse the level of innovation competence among teachers of higher education, establishing a framework adapted to the university environment and creating a questionnaire to determine the innovation competence profile of teachers. A sample of 1,404 teachers in Spain, Mexico and Bolivia was used to conduct a comparative study of their innovation skills and resources which will aid the development of possible strategies for improvement. The results will facilitate decision-making in designing training policies to raise the level of innovation competence among university teaching staff and the adaptation of the teaching/learning process for the acquisition of 21st century competences.

摘要

根据欧洲高等教育区的目标，在高等教育机构中实施创新的制度驱动力不足以实现有效实施，因为它受到许多因素的制约，最重要的是大学的动力和培训教师。本研究旨在分析高等教育教师的创新能力水平，建立适合大学环境的框架，并制作问卷以确定教师的创新能力概况。以西班牙、墨西哥和玻利维亚的 1,404 名教师为样本，对他们的创新技能和资源进行了比较研究，这将有助于制定可能的改进策略。
