Abstract

This ethnographic and sociological paper is interested in what the idea of innovation with technology is disseminated among educational technologists and university professors, its genesis, visibility and adoption, and how it permeates other fields. The theoretical referential shows the main currents in educational technology and relates them to Pierre Bourdieu's idea of ‘field’. The methodology used is based on the presence of the researcher in the field, as well as on an analysis of bibliographic production and other indicators, which allow for the construction of a triangulated narrative. Among the results of the study carried out, it is observed that the idea of innovation with technology is instructional, its penetration in the academy seeks to ensure the survival of the field and that the circulation of these ideas is due to the modernisation processes of Spanish universities.
