GONZALEZ-ESCOBAR, Mary; SILVA-PENA, Ilich; GANDARILLAS, Andrea Precht  and  KELCHTERMANS, Geert. TEACHER TURNOVER IN LATIN AMERICA: A LITERATURE REVIEW. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2020, vol.50, n.176, pp.592-604.  Epub Aug 18, 2020. ISSN 1980-5314.  https://doi.org/10.1590/198053146706.

Growing numbers of teachers are leaving the classroom before having served five years, and this is increasingly becoming an international concern. To contribute to the discussion, this study systematically reviews the literature on teacher attrition in Latin America, focusing on the reasons teachers give for abandoning their profession, in this specific geographical context. The results point to encountering school life as the main reason for leaving a teaching career; thus, we use the concept of micropolitical literacy to approach the phenomenon studied.

Keywords : TEACHING PROFESSION; RECRUITMENT; CAREER; PROFESSIONAL RELATIONS.
