ARAUJO-QUEIROZ, Marcelo Bruno; SILVA, Rodrigo da Luz  and  PRUDENCIO, Christiana Andréa Vianna. STS STUDIES IN SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION: tendencies and perspectives of stricto sensu production in Northeast Brazil. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.3, pp.310-339.  Epub June 05, 2019.

We present theoretical data on the production of dissertations and theses that incorporated the STS Education as a research theme in Science Education in Northeast Brazil. This sample, composed of 35 studies defended between 2007 and 2017, considers five categories: production by state, production by postgraduate program, curricular perspective, research context and area of ​​knowledge. From the analysis of the summaries of the works, we discuss the perspectives and tendencies of this production that shows itself in a process of expansion that possibly will be consolidated in the region. In addition, we bring information that may contribute to a process of implementation of this educational perspective in teaching, curriculum and in the training of science teachers.

Keywords : Science-Technology-Society. Education in Sciences. Masters/Doctorate degree..
