Educational Innovation in the 21st Century

Abstract

In the current educational context, teachers face the challenge of adapting their teaching methods to the new generations of students, who are more familiar with technology and have special educational needs. This article analyzes the crucial role of teachers throughout history and highlights the importance of being resilient, innovative, and promoters of inclusive innovation. It explores the use of gamification, artificial intelligence (AI) and art as essential tools in teaching practice, which enrich and transform the educational process. Gamification, for example, promotes active participation and student engagement using game elements in the classroom. On the other hand, AI could personalize learning experiences and offer immediate feedback, redefining the concept of the traditional classroom. In addition, the arts awaken students' creativity and sensitivity, encouraging critical thinking and enriching learning. The integration of these tools is presented to ensure sustainable learning adapted to the individual needs of each student.
