Abstract : The global basic education system is facing a number of challenges, and one of them is teacher turnover. In relation to this, the purpose of this paper was to map and analyze the published literature on teachers’ turnover in order to provide new knowledge on this phenomenon in basic education. Incentive theory was analyzed in relation to this phenomenon. The analysis methodology is the Prisma method, based on descriptive techniques to count the number of scientific publications, and the secondary source is the Dimensions platform, from which 1,246 articles were mapped during the period 1932 to 2022 for 74 countries. The results showed that 2021 was the year with the highest rate of publications on the phenomenon, at 13.8%; followed by the highest number of publications in English, at 87.1%; then, America was the continent with the highest production and publication rate, at 51.8%, with the United States leading the way with 45.8% as a country. This work is original in that it makes new contributions to this phenomenon in terms of the social involvement of educational actors. The study suggests that countries around the world should take this phenomenon into account in order to implement public education policies to address it.
