Abstract

El perfil docente en educación inicial constituye un campo de estudio estratégico para comprender la calidad de la práctica pedagógica, la identidad profesional, la formación ética y la proyección de la docencia en la primera infancia. Este artículo presenta una revisión sistemática con análisis bibliométrico descriptivo, utilizando PRISMA 2020 exclusivamente como guía de reporte y no como tipo de estudio. La búsqueda y organización del corpus se realizó en Scopus y dio lugar a 217 registros. Tras el cribado inicial, 126 estudios fueron preseleccionados para inclusión, 29 quedaron para revisión manual y 62 se excluyeron. La revisión manual permitió conformar un corpus integrado de 135 estudios incluidos, 80 excluidos finales y 2 pendientes de verificación a texto completo. Sobre este universo se aplicó un segundo filtro analítico: se excluyó la dimensión transversal educación inicial del balance comparativo y se construyó una muestra intensiva de 20 artículos distribuidos equitativamente entre cuatro variables principales perfil docente/identidad, competencias docentes, vocación docente y formación ética con cinco estudios por cada una. Los resultados muestran que el corpus ampliado sigue dominado por trabajos sobre competencias, pero el recorte balanceado mejora la comparación entre dimensiones y fortalece la interpretación del perfil docente integral.
