Description
Summary:This article presents the results of a review of the literature on the role of international organizations in the establishment of the teacher professionalization policies of the Pedagogical Schools in Mexico. The databases Google Scholar, Dialnet, Redalyc, SciELO, and Latindex from 1984 to 2018 were used. The selection included mainly qualitative empirical trials or studies, although quantitative ones were not ruled out. Teacher professionalization policies have been designed from the perspective of human capital, the New Public Management (NPM) and managerialism. The purpose was to identify the educational policies that have been promoted in Mexico to professionalize teachers in Pedagogical Schools and compare the actions that have been carried out with the principles of the NPM. In Mexico, five teacher professionalization programs were created. The most prominent is the Teacher Professional Development Program. The exploration revealed that these policies have been designed, developed and evaluated from the principles of the NPM, in them, it is established that the State must give way to managerial approach so that they control the dynamics of the processes of public administration.
