The objective was to interpret the meaning of the pedagogical practice that teachers carry out to carry out an industrial technical education oriented toward innovation, in the context of the Industrial Technical School “La Carucieña” in the city of Barquisimeto, Venezuela. The interpretive ethnographic method was used in the qualitative methodological perspective; participant observation was used in classrooms and workshops, and the in-depth interview of five teachers was used. The coding and categorization procedure resulted in two guiding categories: (a) Innovation in the pedagogical act of the Industrial Technical Schools, and (b) Pedagogy of Learning for Innovation, to which the hermeneutic process was carried out. As a final reflection it is necessary that the essence of the innovative being in the pedagogical act is the teacher, because his students will be the reflection of the attitude towards the need to improve, to incorporate changes and the dedication to overcome the education of routine and inertia.
