Innovative educational practices in higher education: a systematic review

The aim was to identify by means of a systematic review different innovative educational practices in Higher Education. For this purpose, a search of scientific articles was carried out in different databases Scopus and Web of Science, where a total of 1470 documents were obtained and, after applying the inclusion criteria, 21 studies were left for review. The results show that creative practices favor the construction of the teaching-learning process and the development of competencies. The teacher should take into account the contextualization of knowledge and start from the students' center of interest, in order to promote attitudes in new procedures based on innovation, enhancing skills that predispose the student towards motivation and involvement. In conclusion, it is suggested that new studies take into account the results found in the present work.  This could promote the attainment of knowledge based on cooperation and motivation, divergent thinking and student inclusion.
