In this regard, 32 works were founded, of which only 19 fulfill the requirements of the review. Results: According to studies results, there are noticed five phenomena around teaching identity in Colombia: incidence of public policy and effects of the precariousness of profession, the dominance of the social image of ”Teaching Vocation“, categorization of identities with labels such as specific knowledge, the relationship between teaching practice and identity recomposition, and finally effects of professional communities on identities.
