In today's world, more and more skills are required of students, such as problem solving, decision-making, reflection, autonomy and the ability to think and act critically. The school community is very important for the development of these capacities, because it is through strategies and teaching methodologies that they are stimulated and constructed. In this context, the promotion of Critical Thinking is considered the main precursor of these and other capacities, because it puts in risk the way different teaching strategies are used, as well as the programs for the training of Science teachers. Having this in mind, a documentary analysis was performed in 23 academic works available in Brazilian repositories, analyzing the authors that conceptualize the PC mentioned in those repositories. It was concluded that the concept of PC adopted for its promotion predominated in 10 to 23 academic works was good, being rational, practical, active and reflexive. It is important to say that most of the Brazilian productions adopt the Portuguese concepts and sometimes they don’t even mention Brazilian references of this area. However, it is crucial to remind that these abilities go over teaching and changing, in a positive way, the social context of the student, impacting their professional, affective and social life as a whole.
