This article focused on analyzing, in Brazilian theses and dissertations, the contributions of the continuing education processes (CE) of Natural Sciences and Technologies (NST) teachers, which are based on the Science/Technology/Society (STS) perspective. The research is based on a bibliographic survey, with a qualitative methodological approach, and uses content analysis to categorize the contributions of CE processes for their participants. Three categories are discussed in the research results: 1) Evolution of conceptions about STS education; 2) Integration and collectivity and 3) Reflection on the practice itself.  It is concluded that the CE processes of NST teachers, based on the STS approach, are fundamental to promote reflections on teaching practices, through the understanding of the assumptions of STS education in shared formative environments, as well as, it is emphasized the lack of more CE programs that come to be based on these models.
