Innovation as a teaching and learning strategy in brazilian classrooms

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to account for the most meaningful features identified in Brazilian classrooms, particularly in Lajeado do Sul, in Porto Alegre. There, on the one hand, the leaders show that creativity and innovation within the classroom are the key to motivate students to attend school and get new knowledge. On the other hand, the leaders aim at an autonomous learning in students arising from their interests through class projects.
