Resumen

Latin American researchers remain underrepresented in Computing Education Research (CER), accounting for only 1.6% of global participation. This study uses bibliometric analysis to map Latin America's participation, collaboration patterns, and research themes in top international CER venues over five years. Findings reveal that only a few countries in the region are involved, with overall low research participation. Additionally, regional collaboration remains limited. These disparities suggest challenges to achieving equitable participation in global CER. Addressing these challenges requires inclusive research practices and stronger regional networks, ensuring Latin American voices help shape an accessible and equitable future in computing education.
