The importance and significance of education as a driving force for development is indisputable, as are all the factors that intervene in it, so it cannot remain alien and distant from social demands and current reality. This work is the preview of an ongoing research that attempts to substantiate the necessary relationship that must exist between the daily practice of teachers, based on research and with innovation as its north, and the organizations involved in decision-making for the elaboration and formulation of public policies. The established objectives are: (1) to substantiate the importance of educational research as a teaching practice for the improvement of the teaching and learning process; (2) to point out the significance of innovation as a product of the teacher's research activity; and (3) to propose guidelines that allow the linking of teacher research action with decision-making for the formulation of educational public policies. The methodology used had a qualitative approach. A descriptive, documentary study was carried out, whose analyzed information allowed the formulation of action guidelines for the fulfillment of the stated objectives. In conclusion, the need to consolidate research culture in schools, update teachers on innovative methodologies, address limitations in developing research practices, and strengthen the research attitude in the classroom, among other guidelines and actions, is highlighted.
