SCHOOL MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION: THE USE OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR DECISION-MAKING

Abstract

Contemporary school management is part of a context in which innovation stands out as an essential strategic element, especially due to rapid technological evolution. The choice of this theme is justified by the growing need for modernization in educational practices, aiming at the effectiveness of decision-making at different levels of school administration. The main objective of this study is to investigate how the analysis of educational data can transform management in educational institutions. The methodology adopted is of a bibliographic nature, reviewing pertinent literature that discusses the intersection between technology and educational management. The main results indicate that the use of technological tools, such as data analysis platforms and school management systems, not only facilitates administration, but also enriches the learning experience of students. Furthermore, it is concluded that the effective implementation of these solutions requires a cultural change in institutions, promoting an environment conducive to pedagogical innovation. The research shows that the integration of technologies in school management enables more informed decisions aligned with clear and measurable educational objectives. It is also based on the importance of training educators for the effective use of these tools, ensuring inclusive innovation and supported by a solid pedagogical vision. Therefore, this intersection between school management and technological innovation represents an opportunity to reimagine education, placing learning as the central focus of administrative and pedagogical decisions.
