This presentation was given by Diana Koroleva at the Public Conference “Innovation in education : What has changed in the classroom in the past decade?”.
Measuring innovation in education and understanding how it works is essential to improve the quality of the education sector. Monitoring systematically how pedagogical practices evolve would considerably increase the international education knowledge base. We need to examine whether, and how, practices are changing within classrooms and educational organisations and how students use learning resources. We should know much more about how teachers change their professional development practices, how schools change their ways to relate to parents, and, more generally, to what extent change and innovation are linked to better educational outcomes. This would help policy makers to better target interventions and resources, and get quick feedback on whether reforms do change educational practices as expected. This would enable us to better understand the role of innovation in education.
3. Measuring innovations through digital transformation
The first wave was computerization:
(1985 – early 1990s)
Equipping educational organizations with
computers, introducing ICT as an academic
subject , and training teachers to work with
computer as a teaching tool.
Innovation "from above"
The second wave was informatization:
(late 1990s – 2000s)
Changes in the content and methods of teaching
with the help of ICT (going beyond the
framework of a single subject). Formation of a
new information environment.
Innovation "from above"

6. National programs
Digital Economy
• The federal project "Human Resources for the digital economy"
• Providing the digital economy with competent personnel
• The support for talented pupils and students in the field of Mathematics and Computer science
• Assisting citizens in mastering digital literacy and the competencies of the digital economy
Education
• The federal project "Digital educational environment"
• The development of the central educational system model ("Digital School", "Digital College",
"Digital University"), its testing and implementation across the country
• Creating the federal digital platform, automatizing routine procedures
• Providing high-speed Internet connection for 100% of educational institutions by the end of 2024
• The creation of IT-cube - digital education centers for schoolchildren
7. Additions to country notes
(Digital Transformation in education)
• 91% of students own gadgets with
Internet access;
• 94% of schools are connected to the
Internet, but in 21.4% of them the speed
is 512 kilobits per second;
• Computer equipment in schools is
obsolete (most computers are the
"legacy" of the early 2000s reforms);
• Computers are available for students
only in computer science lessons.
8. Digital Transformation in education:
Cross-cultural study
1. Digital readiness of education actors (TRI)
2. Environmental and individual factors of teachers’ competent
application of digital technology
3. Non-systemic digital innovations: owning devices by
schoolchildren, using them for preparing homework, teachers’
activity in social networks

14. Educational Innovation Landscape
Do grassroots projects operate in
perpendicular, similar or divergent
directions with governmental reforms
and international agenda?
15. Grassroots innovation:
Cross-cultural study
1. Trends in the field of grassroots innovations as signals of
future changes in education;
The observed grassroots projects could be treated as ether
indicators of system dissatisfaction or niches with high
potential for growth
