COLOMBIAN TEACHERS’ NETWORK ON STEM: APPROACHING CONCEPTS AND STRATEGIES FOR COLLABORATIVE WORK AND EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the strategies and concepts that configure the accompanying process provided to teachers by the Secretariat of Education in Bogotá, Colombia, through a Continuing Professional Development Program. The content analysis performed in this article is meant to evaluate the conceptualization of a national program on continuing professional development of primary and secondary school teachers in Bogotá, a program estimated to impact on teaching collaboration and educational innovation. The STEM + TRANSFORMS Teachers Network is where this process is carried out, with teachers who have pedagogical initiatives in educational innovation with a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The content analysis was carried out by examining two reference documents for STEM networks and programs in Colombia and Latin America, and conducting an interview with the institutional support coordinators of the Network. The findings will enable an understanding of approaches and challenges related to educational innovation through STEM processes and cooperative work.
