Innovation has many forms and thus many ways of being acquired. Restricted by time and space, our aim here is limited to showing some of the ways to develop of innovation in learning. We suppose that certain skills are efficient in reaching this goal such as modeling, situation management, operational control, teamwork, appropriate orientation and that, in addition, certain personal or social factors like motivation also play a role. We try to provide a theoretical conceptual basis for designing guidelines for innovative learning and provide a foundation for its continued development. We believe that it is crucial to establish reference methods to strengthen the relationship between innovation and learning. This paper, which focuses on the theoretical and conceptual abilities to develop innovation in learning, describes the relevant elements of an overarching framework for these references by establishing the individually based abilities required for effective participation in innovative learning, and highlights those skills that are important for overall successful learning.
