This article analyzes the production in the area of educational policies, conducted in Brazilian Graduate Programs in Education, focusing on large- scale and institutional evaluation. Eighty-one theses and dissertations, developed during the period from 2000 to 2010 were examined. Growing interest in this topic was observed, although in the early stages and dispersed among the graduate programs, research lines and advisors. No comparative studies were found, either at the national or the international levels. In addition, a large concentration of studies in the southern and southeastern regions was found, reiterating the presence of differences in the production and distribution of knowledge in the area of education. Problems in the texts of the abstracts were identified regarding the scarce objectivity and lack of basic information. Few studies indicate theoretical references, showing weakness in the production of knowledge in the area in the face of the strength of educational evaluation policies.
