Abstract: Pesticides are substances used for pests and plant diseases control, dispersed in the air, water, soil and food, affecting the environment and health of living beings. The school is a place for teaching and appropriation of scientific concepts related to pesticides. We sought to analyze and systematize the research on Pesticides in Science Education, published from 2008 to 2018, in the Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations from CAPES, in Scientific Electronic Library online, in Google Scholar, in the Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências, in the Revista Ciências e Ideias, in the Revista Electrónica Enseñanza de las Ciências, and in the Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências. The study is of a qualitative and quantitative nature, of the bibliographic type. For the searches, the descriptors "Pesticides" and "Pesticide AND education" were used, applying them to the title, abstract, and keyword. About 25000 works were found with the “Pesticide” descriptor, of which only 60 were selected for this study, as they deal with teaching. Chemistry was covered in 24 texts. As for the level of education, high school prevailed, comprising 37 of the works. The research instruments most used were: Questionnaires, Interviews, Field Diary, Observation, Didactic Sequence, Problem Solving, Three Pedagogical Moments. Teaching and Learning was the most evident focus, making up 61% of the texts. The year of 2016 was the one that represented the largest number of productions involving the theme Pesticides, published in journals and scientific events and found on Google Scholar.
