Resumo: The present study aims at describing the lines of scientific research engaged in by doctors who presented their dissertations on "Accounting Education and Research" in the School of Economics, Business Administration and Accounting of the University of São Paulo (Faculdade de Economia, Administração e Contabilidade da Universidade de São Paulo - FEA/USP) during the period from 2005 to 2009. We evaluate whether publications in this field are treated in a prejudiced manner in Brazil - the phenomenon identified internationally by Pierre, Wilson, Richard, Ravenscroft, and Rebel (2009) - which may indicate disinterest on the part of researchers. We used descriptive research with a quantitative approach for our purposes. Data were collected from documentary research on the Lattes Platform and accounting dissertations defended at the USP, comprising a total of 203 PhDs. We found that the number of dissertations defended has practically doubled every decade and that the number of females obtaining doctoral degrees has increased significantly. Of the PhDs surveyed, 7% were productivity grant recipients from the National Counsel of Technological and Scientific Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq), 76% were linked to some research group and 56% identified a research line on their Lattes resume. Of the research groups and lines, 8% and 6%, respectively, were related to accounting education. We found that the research line, "Accounting Education and Research", showed the lowest percentage of defended studies (8% of dissertations, 4% in the "Accounting Education" field). With respect to publications, the most prominent subjects were those dealing with specific accounting issues and topics related to teaching institutions; there was little research on instructional and pedagogical issues. These results may indicate a gap in researchers' knowledge on the subject and highlights the need to better prepare accounting PhDs for teaching practice. Education and Research was the line that showed the greatest number of women. These findings highlight the need for accounting education research to be valued to benefit the development of the accounting profession and improve teacher training.

Este estudo tem o objetivo de delinear as linhas de pesquisa e a produção científica de doutores que defenderam suas teses em "Educação e Pesquisa Contábil" na Faculdade de Economia, Administração e Contabilidade da Universidade de São Paulo (FEA/USP) no período de 2005 a 2009. Examina se, no Brasil, se repete o fenômeno identificado internacionalmente por Pierre, Wilson, Richard, Ravenscroft, e Rebele (2009) que citam que as publicações nessa área ainda são vistas pelos editores de forma preconceituosa, o que acarretaria desinteresse por parte dos pesquisadores. Para tanto, foi utilizada a pesquisa descritiva com abordagem quantitativa. As estratégias de coleta de dados foram: pesquisa documental na Plataforma Lattes e nas teses em Contabilidade defendidas na Universidade de São Paulo, compreendendo o total de 203 doutores. Pode-se constatar que o número de teses defendidas praticamente dobra a cada década e que a participação feminina na obtenção do título de doutor vem crescendo significativamente. Dos doutores investigados, 7% são bolsistas produtividade do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), 76% estão vinculados a algum grupo de pesquisa e 56% informaram alguma linha de pesquisa no Currículo Lattes. Dos grupos e linhas de pesquisas, 8% e 6%, respectivamente, estão relacionados à Educação Contábil. Foi constatado que a linha de pesquisa "Educação e Pesquisa Contábil" é a que tem o menor percentual de trabalhos defendidos (8% das teses, 4% na área de "Educação Contábil"). Considerando as publicações, as temáticas predominantes tratam, sobretudo, de assuntos específicos da área contábil e tópicos relacionados às instituições de ensino, com escassas pesquisas sobre questões didático-pedagógicas, podendo indicar o pouco domínio dos pesquisadores sobre o assunto e revelando a necessidade de preparação dos doutores em Contabilidade para o exercício da docência. Educação e Pesquisa é a linha que tem a maior presença de mulheres. Esses achados apontam a necessidade de valorização da pesquisa sobre o ensino da Contabilidade para o desenvolvimento da profissão contábil e para a melhor formação docente.
