Objective: to diagnose the limitations that hinder the implementation of educational innovation practices in the teaching-learning process. Methodology: it was developed with a qualitative approach, with descriptive design and inductive method. For the collection of information, the interview was used as a technique and the semi-structured interview guide as an instrument, applied to two teachers from educational institutions in the province of Cotopaxi. The information obtained was organized, coded, and analyzed using the ATLAS.ti software. Results: it was identified that the main barriers to educational innovation are insufficient teacher training in ICT, the limited availability of technological resources, connectivity problems and institutional conditions that restrict the incorporation of innovative strategies.
