The aim of this study is to characterize the research trends on educational decolonization in Latin America, during the period 2010-2020. Regarding the methodology, it was based on a systematic review of the literature in different academic bases and search engines. In total, 176 articles published in the last decade were analyzed.

The challenge that humanistic education assumes in the face of teacher training is studied from the perspective of Antonio Pérez Esclarín, in order to invigorate the teaching-service-research model, obtaining the responsibility of promoting the construction of a popular, humanistic and liberating education, with high level of quality. The teaching work is seen as a creed, as a creative action that strengthens in the student critical, ethical and highly socially conscious thinking, whose ultimate goal is the dignity of the individual and his contribution to the elimination of inequalities. By channeling theory with praxis, the teacher directs his vocation towards the achievement of goals, assuming the challenge of the proposal promoted by the author from the humanistic point of view.
