摘要:School, as an organization, plays a central role in society’s processes of change and innovation, by promoting the access to learning and knowledge. This implies, however, that school itself should be able to learn. In this article we analyse this core learning competence of schools, by focusing on a conceptual discussion on school identity and change, innovation and learning. There is a dialogical relation between identity and change, whether we refer to schools, or to agents that live and work in it. This dialogical relation involves re-evaluating presuppositions and reconverting values and practices, i.e, developing a dynamic process that mobilizes a competence to think and act, interact and decide with others. We claim that this competence emerges from collective, situated (inter)acting, where different logics of action, epistemologies and ideologies confront, articulate and integrate one another. It emerges, therefore, from the essential dialogism that cuts across all knowledge construction processes.
