We present in this article a survey of theses and dissertations developed in Brazil that contemplated the concept of derivative as part of its object study. Therefore, we carried out a search in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). The term “Derivative Concept” was used as a research key; we considered the works linked to the areas of knowledge of Teaching or Teaching Science and Mathematics. Under such conditions, we identified a total of 17 papers, including theses and dissertations, defended from 2008 to 2018. We noticed that such researches were carried out within the scope of Postgraduate Programs in Mathematical Education, Teaching, Science and Mathematics Teaching and Teaching of Mathematics. In general, the research object of these works was linked to the teaching and learning of derivative, as well as to the multiple understandings of students about this concept, such as those related to the mean and instantaneous rate of variation, angular coefficient of the tangent line to the curve, variability study, among other aspects.
