Abstract

This article presents the approach of three key categories for this research, which are of interest to the educational sciences, such as the issues of Teacher Training, Pedagogical Practices and Educational Innovation. The categories are studied from a critical documentary analysis, based on a genealogy of concepts. The central objective of this type of review was to identify theoretical approaches, through a critical documentary analysis of academic texts and articles derived from research published in the last 10 years, referenced from searches in specialized databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, Redalyc, Dialnet, Google Scholar and university repositories at a national and international level. This study makes visible the direct impact on the quality of the educational process and the influence on the conception and practice of education in various contexts, where teacher training and pedagogical practices require competencies in accordance with the challenges of the context, the historical moment and the sociocultural conditions of the environment. At the same time, educational innovation promotes the adaptation and adjustments necessary for education to evolve at the pace of society's dynamics. It is recommended that the subject of education be understood as an active agent of his or her own learning process, taking into account his or her cultural and social context. The conception of the educational subject is enriched with a transcontinental perspective, which implies a comparative analysis of the educational realities of the countries in question, identifying common challenges and innovative solutions, which facilitate the development of situated pedagogical approaches and reinforces the transformative role of education, promoting an understanding of the diverse needs and potentialities of students.  and responding to the demands of a changing world.
