TORRES VELAZQUEZ, Alejandra Magali  and  ZANATTA COLIN, Martha Elizabeth. Civic Instruction in Higher Education in the Latin American Context, 2011-2020. Revista Andina de Educación [online]. 2022, vol.6, n.1, e205. ISSN 2631-2816.  https://doi.org/10.32719/26312816.2022.6.1.6.

Civic instruction in higher education is a primary concern issue, considering the current situation of isolation and loss of collective and social sense of future professionals. For this reason, we considered relevant to conduct a systematic documentary research whose objective was to identify the criteria that have underpinned research on civic instruction in higher education in the period from 2011 to 2020 in the Latin American context. For which we analyzed 20 scientific research articles identified in specialized journals of the Redalyc, Dialnet and Scielo repositories. The method used was a documentary study that defined the theoretical and methodological proposals that supported the research analyzed. The results produced knowledge based on the following criteria: university social responsibility, active citizenship, ethical education and citizenship competencies. So, it is based on the notion that the university is a kind of agora, where students are educated in both the academic and the social aspects, so that -through professionalization- they can be praxic agent committed to the common good.

Keywords : civic education; higher education; university.
