In an in-depth analysis in thirty-four papers from six axes, which discuss the Education in Sciences. The study identified that the largest concentration of axes is in the “teacher training” and “emergence of a scientific fact”. The significant contribution of the epistemological categories “thought style”, “thought collective” “intra and intercollective circulation if ideas” stand out in the process of producing knowledge into the focus area.
