Pedagogies for innovative competencies

Helena Kantanen

Chapter 14 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Innovation Management, 2025, pp 47-50 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The process of innovation development requires different sets of knowledge, aptitudes, and skills. This entry explores pedagogies for the development of innovation competences in higher education students. Taking Evertt Rogers’ diffusion of innovation process as a starting point, it examines three student-centered pedagogical options in light of the innovative competencies framework: collaborative inquiry, flipped classroom, and case-based learning. Educational research has demonstrated the effectiveness of these pedagogies in developing the skills required for innovation, such as creative and reflective thinking. All the approaches presented have the potential to bridge the gap between academic research and business studies, as well as the gap between theoretical learning and real-world business application. Furthermore, through reflective exercises and discussions, students can develop critical thinking skills and gain self-awareness of their own aptitude for innovation management.
