In the early years in which educational research was systematic, the Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos (Brazilian Journal Pedagogical Studies) was the main means of disseminating the educational field and an important debate instrument on the politics around science, educational research and educational practice. The magazine remains an official federal government agency and disclosure of actions of an institute created with the aim of spreading research: the National Institute of Pedagogical Studies (Inep). In those first time, Inep was in charge of two important educators: Bergström Manuel Lourenço Filho and Anísio Spínola Teixeira, who guided the development of educational research. These characters was engaged in a political and epistemological flag and the magazine articles highlight their ideas. The aim of this work is to identify which concept of science was present in the Brazilian educational research before the creation of postgraduate courses. We selected 37 articles between the years 1944 and 1971. These articles were analyzed based on the epistemological conceptions and on the theoretical line of the history of concepts. As a result of this research it was found that there was no epistemological dominant design, but most was considered within the historicist perspective. Unlike what was expected, in the articles that brought an overview of research and science, there were differing views, not just of the magazine's directors, but their thinking is highlighted and even justifying many of the actions carried out by the institute. We observed various aspects associated with the concept of science, including the selection of priorities and the emphasis on practical research, with some authors seeking a more immediate character and methodological and others defending the practice with theoretical basis, under the social perspective. In addition to the commitment to the production of research was carried out in universities, with the contribution of necessary conditions and discussion of scientific in educational research. After 1964, the newspaper published articles that addressed education as an investment, entered the excessively technical trend, where the function of the survey would detect how optimize costs and what would be the most effective form of advertising to increase enrollment. However, the magazine also had influence of Teixeira and even during the military dictatorship held criticism of constraint actions to the institutes and research centers. The publication of the thinking of these researchers in RBEP allowed many of these issues were expanded, reaching a greater impact on society. Most of the articles exposed the opinion of renowned scientists and key staff Inep on what should be the priorities of educational research in support of the country's progress. Many of the published claims have become achievements currently held
