Teacher training, especially in Latin America, has undergone a deep reconceptualisation as a society’s significant phenomenon. Therefore, it is appropriate to ground teacher training on a sociocritical approach, by establishing some theoretical points of reference that support it, and as a means of democratic empowerment for teachers and students face to emerging challenges from political and economic paradigms and systems shaping society. This research paper studies the importance of discussing and examining teaching formation practices, purposes, context and actors from a sociocritical approach, as a proposal that facilitates and leads to unravel and challenge any and all forms of domination, through an individual building a critical and constructive awareness of society.
