Innovations and Innovation Processes in the Hungarian Education System

Summary/Abstract: Innovation policies are becoming more and more important parts of national development strategies and there is a tendency for different sectors to include sector-specific elements in these. The educational sector plays a dual role in national development strategies: as a key driver for economic and social development, and as the subject of internal innovations. One of the main focus of innovation strategies in the educational sector is the measurement of educational innovations. The authors started a research project in 2016 (Innova research), where they try to determine and measure innovation processes. This study builds on the first data gathering by the Innova research, dealing with innovation activity in the Hungarian educational system, and, through concrete case studies, with the nature of innovation practices. The results show that the educational sector is rich in innovations and is able to manage innovation processes. We can state that the analysis of innovation processes needs both quantitative and qualitative tools and the application of several parallel perspectives, due to the complex nature of the phenomenon. The study indirectly supports the claim that national innovation strategies could be completed by sector-specific, and, more concretely, educational sector-specific elements.
