The inquiry presented in this article analyses twenty-one thesis and dissertations defended in graduate programs recommended by CAPES in the Teaching Area, which are themed surrounding the intersection between History and Philosophy of Science in Chemistry Education (taken as the research corpus). Despite official recommendations and several studies defending this intersection as positive in the learning process, the presence of such in the classroom is still scarce. Therefore, the focus here is to identify what has been done/studied in the field, from 2011 and 2015, after the CAPES area has changed its scope. A bibliographical research was made, followed by content analysis based on previous categories. The analysis has shown the main topics explored are criticality plea, in the analytical categories and analysis of textbooks in the thematic categories. It also shows intersection between History and Philosophy of Science in Chemistry Education is an expanding theme in need of a closer relationship between academia and classrooms.
