This paper intends to make a situation map of Brazilian’s researches that addresses issues of gender and sexuality in teacher education. Searches were made for articles on the Scielo platform, which mapped publications from 1998 to 2018, and academic productions defended and posted in the period 2010 to 2020 at the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD, in Portuguese). Inspired by the state of the art research type, to present the gaps, potentialities and trends of the research in the area, which can help to give visibility and strength to a currently contested field of study. The results indicate an increase in production, in the last two decades, a recent intensification of post-critical research, a change in the concepts of gender and sexuality that go from categories linked to biological aspects to social constructions and to a strong relationship between the context of public policies for education and academics production. The research describes teacher’s education that, in general, develops only punctual and poorly based actions, thereby reinforcing gender and sexuality patterns standards. Thus, they attest to the need for these courses to discuss and consider gender and sexuality studies to contribute to overcoming the practices of normalization, exclusion, prejudice and inequality.

Keywords : teacher education; gender; sexuality; scientific research.
