PARRA, Yamith José Fandiño. Decolonization of teacher educators in universities from the Global South. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2024, vol.29, e290046.  Epub 05-Abr-2024. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782024290046.

Teacher educators face policies aimed at framing their understanding horizons and criteria of action. At the same time, they engage in practices that allow for unprecedented forms of personal adaptation and social change. Amid this ambivalence, this paper carries out a critical reflection about the decolonization of the policies and practices that circumscribe teacher educators. To do so, it discusses the crisis of university and then analyzes teacher subjectivation, teacher subalternation and practices of resistance. Such discussion and analysis are done by providing descriptions and interpretations of arguments proposed mainly by authors from the Global South. The main conclusion is that teacher educators need critical awareness about how homogenizing discourses and standardizing policies legitimize teacher subalternity and, in turn, how they need to mobilize teacher education processes that enact personal and collective practices of resistance.
