Purpose:

Based on the literature, conceptual aspects of innovations in teaching practices were identified in order to understand and reflect on the transcendence of the formative processes, and confirm the achievement of teaching competences.

Methodology:

A documentary review was conducted to identify concepts about innovation and transformation of educational practices, as well as the possible impact of teacher training and certification on the quality of learning.

Main results:

Innovation in teaching implies adopting different ways of working by incorporating new components into the teacher’s practice, and the papers analyzed show that there is a clear tendency to incorporate ICT as an innovative element. Likewise, a permanent transformation of these practices can only be achieved through reflection and performance evaluation processes, provided that feedback is taken into account.

Discussion:

Present and future educational demands require the training of teachers to use tools of the digital age and transform their practice, which is possible only through thorough reflection that allows teachers to consolidate their methodologies and reinforce their own learning. Teaching performance evaluation should focus on the teacher’s actual performance, retrieving valuable information about their performance and at the same time providing feedback to promote reflection. No studies were found that relate the effectiveness in the results of learning linked to teacher certification.
