Education in Latin America at the turn of the 20th century: ‘epistemologies of the South’ versus ‘education in complexity’

Summary/Abstract: In this work we present the results of a theoretical pedagogical research, whichobjective was to determine the theoretical, political and ideological trends that permeate theLatin American educational field from the end of the 20th century and until the beginning ofthe third decade of the 21st century, which provide the support for the development of newparadigms in regional education, in particular, to analyze the epistemologies of the South andeducation in complexities. Authors found, that from the end of the 20th century and until thebeginning of the third decade of the 21st century, the education in Latin America is influencedby leftist theoretical, political and ideological tendencies, which advocate the development ofthe so-called epistemologies of the South, full of cultivation and protection of tradition. On theother hand, as its alternative, since the end of the 20th century, education in complexities hasbeen taking shape with its vision of rationalized and secular social life, creating new paradigmsin regional education.
