Theses and dissertations published in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations were investigated from 1995 to 2016. Through the analysis of content were found eight theses and nine dissertations with the descriptor "style thought". After reading in full, the articles were organized into three categories that relate the understandings about the styles of thought and the perspectives of rationality in teacher training, being: technical, practical and critical. The analysis process makes it possible to understand that the critical thinking style predominates in the discussions presented in the Brazilian researches, which can contribute to qualify the development of formative actions in the area of Natural Sciences.Acesso AbertoAtribuição-NãoComercial-SemDerivados 3.0 Brasilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Formação de ProfessoresRacionalidadeEpistemologiaArtigo de PeriódicoCiências
