The article analyzes a segment of the academic production expressed in dissertations and theses in Teaching of Biology, defended in the period 1972-2011, in Brazilian graduate programs. We have identified 1000 documents related to this subarea of Science Education research. In the sequence, only those that used the term Action-Research as a designation for the research modality were selected in their titles, abstracts and / or keywords. We detected 24 documents that were analyzed through the technique of content analysis. As part of the analysis, the information regarding the methodological design of these works was compared with a set of criteria used to define action-research, according to the literature dedicated specifically to this research modality. The results point to the low number of researches of this nature in the academic production investigated, confirming observations found in the specialized literature, showing the general confusion that involves the use of the slogan "action research".Downloads
