In this article, present a possible mapping of the physical aspects of Brazilian research on the teaching and learning of Probability in Basic Education, produced within stricto sensu postgraduate programs in the field of Education and Teaching. We conducted a fully digital search through the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of CAPES, the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, and Lattes platform curriculum. 99 theses and dissertations were found, defended in Brazil between May 1994 and June 2021, which address Probabilistic Education in Basic School as a research topic. The surveys were organized and coded in an Excel® spreadsheet, using information from the reading sheet, such as the year of defense, author name, academic title, advisor, institution, postgraduate program, and examining board. We observed a significant increase in researchers’ interest in Probabilistic Education in Basic School since 2007, based on the 78 dissertations and 21 theses found. All five regions of Brazil presented research, with emphasis on the Southeast region and São Paulo was responsible for the majority of them. We identified 31 Brazilian universities that produced theses and dissertations on the topic, with emphasis on Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo. The Mathematics Education program presented the highest number of defended works, with 55 advisors and 16 central researchers/advisors in national production.

Keywords : Probability teaching; Systematic mapping; Scientific production.
