The research problem relates to the lack of existing research in terms of understanding the meaning of being an innovative and creative teacher in association with a passion connected to professional duty. Research questions were the following: “What does it mean for a teacher to be innovative and creative? What makes an innovative and creative teacher?”. The aim was to explore the meaning of being an innovative and creative teacher through teachers’ experiences. The methodology was based on integration of practical phenomenology and epistemological phenomenology. The sample consisted of ten teachers from ten innovative Basque Country schools. Data was collected by using open-ended interviews. Findings showed that the passion-driven professional duty integrates being an ambitious professional, being professional through ethical and moral actions, endeavoring to discover students’ learning needs, designing learning environments, being coherent with school philosophy, and testing for improvement. Findings showed that a teacher’s innovativeness and creativeness are directed to the self, professional actions, students, school, and professional development. Conclusions are focused on empirical facts that innovative and creative teachers experience the meaning of their practices through duties, which they perform with passion. Teachers’ innovativeness and creativity are related to ethical, moral, professional, intellectual, social, institutional, individual, and processual needs.
El uso intensivo de la tecnología digital para ver videos en Internet, comunicarse a través del Smartphone e interactuar en las Redes Sociales produce satisfacción y contribuye al desarrollo psico-social de las personas más jóvenes, por eso tienen tanto éxito. Sin embargo, cuando se inician a una edad demasiado temprana, pueden acabar abusando de las mismas y finalmente caer en la adicción. Por ello, para que los escolares no tengan problemas en el futuro el presente estudio tiene por objeto conocer si se está produciendo algún tipo de abuso tecnológico para identificar e intervenir en los sujetos que lo están desarrollando. La muestra de la presente investigación la componen 197 estudiantes entre 11 y 12 años de sexto de Educación Primaria, quienes respondieron un cuestionario validado (Ministerio de Interior, 2014) que analiza los hábitos de uso tecnológico de los jóvenes. El instrumento se organiza en preguntas de opción múltiple que ofrece información sobre cuestiones como frecuencia de uso, lugar de uso, internet, Redes Sociales, etc. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que la mayoría de los estudiantes que participaron en el estudio utiliza la tecnología digital de forma razonable. Sin embargo, uno de cada diez estudiantes hace uso abusivo de la misma. Por ello, se sugiere que se intervenga educativamente para que este alumnado no caiga en la dependencia y adicción, dado las potenciales influencias negativas en la vida personal y académica que estos hábitos tendrían.
