ABSTRACT
Objective:
To reflect upon innovative nursing education based on the epistemology perspectives of the South of Boaventura de Souza Santos.
Methods:
This is a theoretical essay. We used the Southern epistemology by Boaventura de Souza Santos as a reference, highlighting the concepts of decolonization of knowledge, post-abyssal thinking, and ecology of knowledge.
Results:
The proposal to reflect on innovative nursing education from the perspective of Southern epistemologies is reflected in the understanding that de Souza Santos' approach can support the realization of the teaching-learning process, which is based on the recognition of the plurality of knowledge in sustainable interactions and the dynamics between them without compromising the autonomy of all.
Conclusion:
There is an emphasis on the fact that it is essential to understand that the technologies for teaching need to integrate a broader educational process resulting from the theoretical reflections and dialogical skills of the nurse as an educator.
