Innovation and Core Competencies in Higher Education the Case of Mohamed V University
Abstract: Innovative teaching is of central importance for student motivation and learning outcome quality. At the center of such quality are teaching competencies. Three core competencies at the center of innovative teaching performance are investigated in this study: social, teaching, and educational/pedagogical. In addition, the research sheds light on the influence of social factors on innovation in higher education. The technological competency, considered independent in research, is believed in this study to be part of the pedagogical competency. A Likert scale questionnaire was used to measure all the variables. The social variables that affect innovative teaching in higher education have also been demarcated. The results show that teachers? educational competency and teaching competency were generally confirmed to be important as well as very important for innovation in teaching. Concerning social competency, the study also shows that daily working hours, flexibility of institution, amount of workload, the ?quality of students? and satisfaction from job constitute the main factors that significantly affect innovative teaching performance.
