| Summary: | An overview of Brazilian research examines how natural sciences and technologies (NST) are taught in rural high schools (HS). The main focus is on pedagogical practices and the teacher training. The aim is to explore how NST is taught in rural high schools by examining Brazilian dissertations and theses focusing on pedagogical practices and teacher professional development. We analyzed dissertations and theses from the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations of the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technologies using a qualitative and bibliographic method. We utilized Bardin's Content Analysis (2016) as our method and identified three categories. Substantial deficiencies were noted, especially in the field of Biology, emphasizing the necessity for further investigation in this area. Furthermore, we draw attention to the obstacles encountered by teachers and educational establishments, including insufficient training, precarious infrastructure, and the lack of public policies. There are extensive possibilities for studies that can contribute to the development of knowledge and educational strategies. Encouraging new thoughts can help people better understand and value the unique characteristics and differences within rural communities, fostering an empowering and enriching educational experience. |
