Sumario:The objective of the present work is to obtain a global vision on the problem of the teaching of Einstein's special relativity from the perspective of the teachers' thinking and the didactic proposals for its teaching. The information has been obtained from the Web of Science, Scopus, Educational Resources Information Center and Google Scholar databases. It has been selected based on its reliability and validity, its methodological rigor and compliance with the desired criteria of scientific quality, taking into ac-count the evaluation indexes Journal Citation Reports (JCR), Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) and Secondary Diffusion Compound Index (ICDS). To facilitate the analysis of the information, it was classified into two categories: teachers' thinking and difficulties about Einstein's RRT, and didactic proposals for teaching Einstein's RRT. The conclusions have revealed the thinking of the teachers as well as the didactic proposals for the teaching of Einstein's theory of special relativity. It is part of the theoretical framework of the first signer's doctoral thesis research, in which a teaching proposal based on Minkowski geometry was de-signed, implemented and evaluated for high school students (17-18 years old).
