  • This study aims to explore the relationship between four key elements of quality management: teamwork, feedback, motivational barriers, and need analysis, and their contribution to improve innovativeness in the Colombian educational context. Drawing on the concepts of control and learning in the quality management theory and using publicly available responses collected from the Colombian teachers who participated in the TALIS 2018 survey, this research study examines how teachers perceive these elements within their institutions and their potential impact on fostering innovativeness among teachers. The study adopts an empirical approach to analyze these relationships, employing a descriptive and inferential statistical framework to uncover patterns and correlations. By focusing on the school practices in Colombia, the research seeks to provide insights into how quality management practices can drive innovation in educational settings. Findings identify specific patterns in the implementation of these practices and their relationship with innovativeness among teachers, offering actionable recommendations for improving teaching strategies in education to improve quality. This study contributes to the broader understanding of management’s role in teaching and learning, offering valuable implications for policymakers and practitioners in developing countries. The novelty of this work lies in its analyses of TALIS data to assess quality management practices and their direct influence on fostering innovation.
