Management of educational innovations in the career of Architecture.

Abstract

Educational innovation allows introducing changes to improve training and learning processes. The management of the Architecture program at the University of Camagüey Ignacio Agramonte Loynaz presents to its faculty the need to enhance the development of its processes through innovation. However, its management does not meet the expectations in terms of innovative results. That is why the objective of this work will be to diagnose the behavior of the management for the development of educational innovations in the career of Architecture. Theoretical methods facilitated the identification of trends in educational innovations for higher education, and the indicators to measure their effectiveness, which allowed the design of instruments for diagnosis. The empirical methods, in turn, were based on the application of techniques such as interviews and questionnaires, from which information was obtained about the level of knowledge and implementation of educational innovations in architecture.  The results obtained show better behavior in the variable management of educational innovations. However, actions are proposed for the training of novice teachers in the management of educational innovations, being this the factor that influences the score levels: medium and low. The actions are of a guiding nature.
