This paper presents the findings of a documentary research which aims at setting up the main trends about the scientific instruments in the science teaching during the 2009 - 2019 years from a bibliometric study. Thus, it followed a qualitative methodology - state of the art type, from five key words: scientific instruments, apparatus, science teaching, learning and science education. For doing so, it considered five inductive categories: approach, authors, scientific discipline, methodology and target population with their related subcategories. The findings and analysis allowed us to identify six trends around that research scope. The main conclusions point out, among other aspects, the key role of the scientific instruments from an interdisciplinary and historical approach in accordance with didactic purposes, as well as the need of overcoming the didactic - instrumental focus and strengthening the research articles. The aforementioned highlights the value of the scientific instruments in the science teaching.

Keywords : bibliometric analysis; science teaching; scientific instruments; statement of art.
