A review of the literature produced between 2018 and 2022 around Maslow's pyramid in the field of education was carried out, with the aim of providing an updated analysis of the subject. A descriptive and analytical presentation is made of the data collected in the educational databases Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC®) and GRAÓ®, as well as the interdisciplinary Scielo® and ScienceDirect®. A limited number of investigations were found that addressed the topic accurately, mostly from the United States. The total number of studies considered was 50, mostly represented by scientific articles. Four thematic lines were identified that relate Maslow's pyramid and education: educational methods and standards, use of technology, rurality, and behavioral predictors. The approaches tend to coincide in indicating that meeting the needs of individuals enriches the educational process. In prospective, research gaps were identified around the subject in Latin America; likewise, the scarce global production identified proves pertinent to carry out a new revision in the following years.
