Abstract

Today, talking about educational innovation projects is not something new in the different educational stages. However, it remains a topic of low visibility in Vocational Education and Training (VET) which, in many cases, is reduced to proposals related to the use of ICT in teaching-learning processes. Given this, we wondered what is the situation of the innovation in VET in Galicia (Spain). This work aims to show what is being done in terms of innovation in Galician vocational training schools, which is a low visible and studied reality that however, includes a wide variety of actions, initiatives and projects in the field of educative innovation. To this end, a descriptive, exploratory and eminently qualitative research was carried out in which, based on the analysis of primary documentary sources, such as the resolutions of the annual innovation in VET awards, was intended to answer research questions such as the following: Are Galician VET Schools innovating? What kind of projects are considered innovative by the administrations and finally, awarded? What professional fields are involved? What kind of VET schools are most involved in innovation? Thus, the resolutions of the annual VET innovation awards in 2019 and 2020 in the autonomous community of Galicia are analyzed, in which a total of 144 innovative proposals were presented, of which, 86 were finally awarded. To conclude, a critical analysis is made of the current situation of innovation in VET in Galicia, providing references to take into account and assessing it in light of the role that VET has to play in the construction of the citizenship of the 21st century.
