Abstract
Introduction. Mass media and digital
communication are relevant in educative innovation
projects intended to improve, both qualitatively and
quantitatively, the teaching and learning processes.
Objective. This research work aims to analyze the
techniques and the media used in education centers
to divulge teaching innovation processes. Materials
and methods. The method has been based on
the empirical analysis of a representative sample
of public education centers in Murcia, Spain, by
the use of a questionnaire addressed to directors
and teachers. Results. The most used means in
downstream communication are e-mails and the
classrooms. Written communications, such as
internal memorandums and board notes are also still being used. In horizontal communication, this
communication flow is verbally produced by means
of informal meetings, face to face conversations and
as a product of formal meetings of the teachers,
which are established by the center´s directors.
These meetings include pedagogical coordination
meetings, department meetings and commissions.
Diagonal communication, which means crossed
communications between the different figures and
hierarchical levels of the center (teachers, tutors,
department chefs, etc), takes place via meetings,
e-mails and the classrooms. Conclusions. There
is a lack of upstream communication and problems
in the organization for the implantation, participation
and divulgation of teaching innovation processes.
Directors must be informed of the difficulties for
the projects to generate tight relationships between
participants.
