Brazilian Amazon is rich in biodiversity and culture. The aim of this study was to verify the occurrence, incidence and methodological trends in theses and dissertations on ethno-knowledge in science teaching which were published between 2014 and 2021 within the Legal Amazon. It is a bibliographic study, with a state-of-the-knowledge approach, in which data was searched in archives of public postgraduate institutions located in the nine states that make up the region under investigation. Results showed that 18 surveys had been carried out, with only five States responsible for production, with Amazonas and Mato Grosso having the most publications. The main participants investigated were teachers, and Elementary School II was the level most frequently presented. Regarding the type of procedure, field research has stood out. Different teaching methods were identified, and field lessons, experiments and use of videos were the most used. The conclusion is that research with different methodologies involving ethno-knowledge in science teaching has been conducted in the Brazilian Legal Amazon, but it is necessary for all States of this region to be concerned with carrying out and encouraging more research, by each of their postgraduate courses, also applied to schools in urban areas and with teachers in initial training.
