Cell biology teaching has been object of studies that involve curricular and teaching aspects. Considered an abstract field in biology, cytology is a difficult subject matter. This work aimed to analyze forms of teaching approach of cell biology proposed for High School, through a systematic review in the specialized literature. We use as criterion of initial time frame the decade of 1990, when consolidated in Brazil the Science, Technology and Society approach, educational perspective that we consider an attempt to overcome the fragmented teaching. The research involved the analysis of papers published in the main journals of research in Science teaching at national scope and in annals of national meeting of the area. The analyzes showed that in the proposed approaches predominates a conceptual and scientism emphasis, not triggering commonly the history of Science, social issues and ethical dilemmas in the formative process.
