The Transversal Themes (TT) are urgent issues within the different areas of knowledge that make up the basic education curriculum, as they propose a link between school content and social issues. They were included in the national curriculum when the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN) were published as an alternative for developing more integrated and contextualized teaching. In this study, the objective was to analyze the scientific production of stricto sensu postgraduate programs in Brazil between 2017 and 2021 that investigated the approach of Transversal Themes in basic education. Searches were carried out in the CAPES Catalog of Theses and Dissertations, using the descriptors and combinations “transversal themes”; “transversal themes” AND “teaching practice”; “transversal themes” AND “teachers”; and “transversal themes” AND “teaching”, and 42 academic works were inventoried. The overview showed some gaps in terms of production on the subject. These include the geographical distribution of the studies, which is primarily limited to the South and Southeast regions of the country, and the need for greater coverage of the topics covered. It was concluded that, although more than two decades have passed since the publication of the PCN and the inclusion of the Transversal Themes in the curriculum, the proposal of teaching from the perspective of transversality and interdisciplinarity, which adopts themes of social relevance as the central focus of pedagogical work and seeks to promote citizen education, still requires a lot of reflection in the school and academic fields.
