MARTINEZ MOLINA, Oscar Antonio. Disruptive Innovations in Education: Pillars for a Sustainable Society. Rev. Sci. [online]. 2025, vol.10, n.35, pp.10-24.  Epub Sep 29, 2025. ISSN 2542-2987.  https://doi.org/10.29394/scientific.issn.2542-2987.2025.10.35.0.10-24.

This research analyzes the interrelationship between disruptive education and sustainability, arguing that educational innovations can catalyze the development of more sustainable societies (Johnson, et al., 2012). Conceptual foundations connecting disruptive methodologies with a systemic understanding of socio-environmental challenges are explored (Luna and Arámburo, 2013). The study highlights how emerging technologies transform learning experiences while potentially reducing education's environmental footprint, though it warns about persistent digital divides. Active methodologies and sustainable educational spaces emerge as transformative elements that facilitate the development of critical competencies to address sustainability challenges. The research demonstrates the importance of teacher professional development and flexible educational policies that promote innovation ecosystems (Brown, 2014). Analysis of the Ecuadorian context reveals both progress and persistent inequalities in technological access and environmental education. The conclusion suggests that disruptive education represents not only an opportunity to improve learning quality but an ethical imperative to form citizens committed to sustainable futures.

Keywords : innovative education; sustainable development; educational technology; teacher training; educational policy.
