This research analyzed the scientific productions on the emergence of research in Education in the Northern Region and the thematic trends of three stricto sensu graduate programs of the federal and state public universities of Pará, Brazil between the years 2005 and 2021 through bibliographic and documentary research, in which a total of 820 dissertations were analyzed based on thematic and descriptive analysis. As a result, it was found that the emergence of Research in Education occurred after a long journey that culminated in the intellectual militancy of the leaders of research groups in the scientific-academic work. In the scope of graduate studies, a high diversity of themes was identified, with the program PPGED-UFPA (55), PPGED-UEPA (37) and PPEB-UFPA (22) having an absolute higher frequency in the theme of Teacher Education, Mathematics Teaching and Curriculum. Both following historical, socio-political and economic trends of each era in which they were produced.
