The paper illustrates the first results of an exploratory research on
educational innovation. In the field of research, in-depth interviews were
carried out with university professors, which enabled the reconstruction of
a definition of didactic innovation which, although partial and provisional,
is based on the experience gained in the professional field and takes into
account the potential and limits of Italian academic context.
Key words: didactics, innovation, academic teachers’ training,
