    Published date: 22/05/2022

    Currently, there are many concepts concerning to the concept of epistemology, such as the construct called “epistemology of practice”. Although in many contexts there has been greater use of this concept, few studies demonstrate how it has been used in the scientific field, that is, what the state of art has been in the analysis of this concept. Thus, we aim to analyze the state of art of academic productions that address the concept of Epistemology of Practice in theses and dissertations published in Brazil, seeking to understand the quantitative and qualitative aspects in this regard during the period from 1999 to 2018, based on the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations from CAPES. The results of the analysis of a total of 98 studies found allow us to conclude that the perspective of the epistemology of practice has shown some insertion in the scope of research in Brazilian graduate studies, especially in the last decade, which illustrates the prominence of the approach to this concept. currently. Despite this, it is essential that there are careful analyzes about their potentials and limitations, as well as it is considered important to have greater investment in the theoretical foundation that supports the work in a more appropriate way.
