This article seeks to provide foundations to recognize in action research, hereinafter AI, the most suitable way to generate knowledge from and for social work. It is a study with a qualitative approach of descriptive type and that uses the documentary review technique of the scientific and institutional literature. XX social work curricula from Latin American universities are analyzed. The results indicate an important presence of indexed publications, especially in the Wos database, but conceptually it shows confusion between different participatory methodologies; the importance of AI in the identity of social work is verified, being part of the discipline's own transformation processes; and, the disconnection of this importance with the current training proposals. The social work careers analyzed do not have an AI subject, which shows a dissociation between what the literature indicates and the training guidelines.
