The objective of this study was to map the published works (dissertations and theses) between 2012- 2022 on Biology teaching topics related to Scientific Literacy. A mapping was carried out by studies (dissertations and theses) that used scientific literacy in the teaching of biology published between 2012-2022. For this, the BDTD database was used. After applying the previously established inclusion and exclusion criteria, 68 research studies (dissertations and theses) were confirmed, with 25% published in 2020. Regarding the “research focus”, genetics (13%) and ecology (13%) were indicated. 13%) were the most strategic subjects in the studies. Therefore, this mapping allowed the assessment of the quality and reliability of available information sources, as well as evidence that revealed gaps to be filled by future research.Acesso RestritoEnsino de biologiaAlfabetização científicaMapeamento bibliográficoAprendizagemBiology teachingScientific literacyBibliographic mappingLearningTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA
