Transforming creative and inclusive teaching practices with digital media with teachers. A professional development process

The analysis of the literature shows that continuous teacher training is developed from a dominant discourse that privileges the agency of knowledge producers (researchers) over consumers (teachers). Taking as a reference the importance of teachers' professional development around the use of digital media, the objective of this article is to identify how the interaction between researchers and teachers can influence to generate essential transformations for professional development oriented to educational change and social justice. The research includes a questionnaire-based study and a multi-sited ethnography (2021-2024), through participant observations, interviews, informal conversations, document analysis and virtual ethnography in ten schools of special complexity, located in rural and urban areas of Spain. The results show how interaction and joint work between researchers and teachers around the creative use of ICTs generate transformative educational scenarios that challenge the dominant hegemony in teacher training processes. The article highlights key aspects such as the researcher's commitment, the joint reflection between the researcher, and the transformation concerning the professional development of teachers and, consequently, of educational practices.
