Objective: The research seeks to reflect on the use/application of the infoeducation concept through the publications of graduate programs in the field of IS in Brazil, establishing a relationship between the authors and the programs. Methodology: This is a bibliographic research, qualitative and exploratory in nature, which uses content analysis to categorize the concepts and terms mapped in the research. We used categories of the concept of infoeducation itself, such as: Cultural Protagonism, Cultural Mediation, Cultural Appropriation, Social Appropriation, Informational Devices and Informational Knowledge for our analyses. Results: The examination of specialized literature allowed us an expanded conceptual mapping of the approaches of infoeducation, its characteristics, use, applications and role within Information Science in Brazil over the years. It was identified the programs that work the most on the theme and how it has been discussed within each study. Conclusions: It was concluded that the studies on the infoeducation in Brazil are emerging, current and point to the development of critical awareness, autonomy and intellectual development of the individual, going beyond the transmission of knowledge, being a contemporary theme relevant both to researches in IS and librarian action.
