This investigation aims to identify the educational thinking of José Carlos Mariátegui and his contributions to Latin American pedagogy thinking. This research integrates the context of discussions about Latin-American pedagogical thinking, which encompasses the economic, political, social and cultural traits of Latin America. It is being included in the field of social and human sciences, specifically in the historical and contemporary context of Latin American critical thinking, and greatly contributes to the field of education. However, the literature indicates a gap left by some critical approaches that have not generated theoretical alternatives in the Region in recent decades. In regards to the methodology, the research is characterized as a qualitative study, developed through technical procedures of bibliographic and documentary research modalities, in which the treatment of data was performed from the perspective of content analysis. The primary sources of the research are related to Mariátegui's Complete Works, materialized in his editorial, writing and activist actions. The results of the investigation point to the existence of an educational thinking in Mariátegui and the originality of its alternative epistemological proposal, as well as its contributions to the Latin American pedagogy, in a perspective of integral formation of the subjects. This perspective values the cultural identity from Latin American educational spaces and that produces knowledge from their own experiences and realities, supported by their social and popular interests. In conclusion, Mariátegui's educational thinking greatly contributes to the strengthening of Latin American pedagogy, and its proposal of alternative epistemology makes advances in the scientific frontiers within the field of pedagogical thinking of the Region.
