Considering the importance of the beliefs of self-efficacy in the teaching-learning process, this article presents a systematic review of the thesis and dissertations on self-efficacy and education beliefs presented for defense in the 2007-2017 period catalogued in the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) database. After analysing with criteria based on the methodology of the systematic review, 92 papers were selected 30 theses and 62 dissertations presented in university databases, in 33 Brazilian universities, of which 22 were public and 11 were private. The highest number of papers are from public universities in the Southeast and South regions, being the Campinas State University (UNICAMP) the one with the highest number of papers (26), followed by Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) with 9 papers. Thus, about 40% of the research in the period investigated were carried out in these two universities. The analysis of the data shows a growth of the papers from 2014 on, being 2017 the year with the largest number of defenses (22) in the period studied. A preliminary qualitative analysis emphasises that most of the works deal with the beliefs of teacher self-efficacy, and Mathematics, Physics and Music are those that appear as research themes in several works. It was also observed there was a shortage of research on beliefs about self-efficacy in family education, and almost experimental and experimental studies in the construction of self-efficacy beliefs. Finally, it is pointed out the necessity of interventions and developmental studies using this theme. This article shows the importance of the public university in fostering research on the beliefs of self-efficacy in education.
