This article presents a study about the epiSTEMological status of research in science education offered in the country, by the analysis of the research programs included in the period 2000-2011. It considers research hypotheses developed by the teachers-researchers as analytical inputs, conducting a study of the international trends in research in science education, in order to compare them with the research carried out in national doctorate programs. Data is collected according to the curricular structures of the doctoral programs by carrying out in-depth interviews with doctors in the field of Science Education, and by implementing and designing questionnaires specific to the field, and then compare them with lines of research developed in the subject. Results show that doctoral programs in the country address the field of science education in a limited and incomplete way, where the Interinstitutional Doctorate in Education is the most favored one due to its nature.

Keywords : Field of science education; lines of research; doctorate research programs.
