Abstract
Debates around the improvement of the quality of the educational centers have a privileged place in the political-educational agendas. The objective of this article is to reflect on the change and improvement that schools must undergo in their obligatory stage to consolidate integral quality teaching and learning processes. A systematic bibliographic review is carried out on school improvement processes. After it, some of the most relevant results are offered in three areas of study: neuropsychology applied to education, international comparative impact reports and finally, contributions of the School Improvement and School Efficiency Movements. The conclusions offer a theoretical and practical synthesis that favors the debate on how and in which direction the improvement attempts should be oriented.
