Abstract
The study of innovation has been thoroughly investigated over the past five decades by many researchers and organizations. Educational innovation, in particular, has been studied since the 1970s more systematically. Educational innovation, its adoption and implementation have been studied not only by various researchers, namely Fullan, Westera, Cohen and Ball, but different organizations, such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as well. However, its implementation constitutes a very demanding task. This paper addresses the most crucial suspending factors that may hinder innovation implementation in education through recent and older literature review. The findings of our study include factors that are related to educators, parents, students and the educational context in general. This paper is part of a doctorate dissertation which is currently in progress.
