This article presents the conceptualization, characteristics, national and international research on learning environments. For this purpose, a bibliographic review of approximately fifty sources was carried out. Based on these, the conceptualization and characteristics that learning environments should have in order to be effective in teaching-learning processes were elaborated according to the authors reviewed. Likewise, an international overview structured by continents was developed on research in which diverse elements of study were identified; and a national overview divided by regions, in which definitions, research and work carried out are evidenced, all following a chronological order. Finally, the paper focuses on how Colombia can improve learning environments through the role of teachers and their training.

Keywords : Educational environment; teacher competencies; pedagogical practice; teaching process; learning.
