Resumen

Entrepreneurship education has been seen over the last decade as a means to establish social and economic improvements in Latin American countries. This study sought to analyze and synthesize some intervention studies published during the last ten years in Scopus and Web of Science on the impacts of entrepreneurship training for the development of entrepreneurial skills in basic education in Latin America. From a systematized literature review, 76 documents were obtained from Scopus and 68 from Web of Science, which were analyzed into four categories. It was determined that the articles found came from Spanish-speaking countries, with Spain being the one with the highest production. Furthermore, the types of objectives considered for entrepreneurship training are related to the economic and social areas of Latin America, in which better development is expected. Likewise, there is more research on entrepreneurship training at the secondary level than at the primary level of basic education. Also, the findings indicate that the region intends to emerge thanks to the help of entrepreneurship training disciplines and its promotion in education. This study opens new lines of inquiry by raising some questions such as: why is there little information regarding the teaching of entrepreneurship at the primary level of basic education? What specific training do teachers need to teach entrepreneurship? And finally, how is entrepreneurship taught at the primary level to develop entrepreneurial skills and competencies?
