      Abstract

      The constitutive elements of a new scientific field, the factors that result in its conservation, and its relations with neighboring fields are themes that guide our investigations. Based on the studies of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu and historical sociology, we consider the intrinsic aspects of the existence of a scientific field: its symbolic production, the institutions, agents, and the scientific habitus — elements that directly contribute to both its creation and maintenance. Therefore, we focused on investigating the field of Mathematics Education in Brazil, more specifically in Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), and developing a historiographical study that allowed us to understand the relationship between this field, the history of higher education in Brazil and the creation of the national graduate system. The clipping presented here focuses on the results obtained in the investigation of symbolic productions such as theses and dissertations, defended in stricto sensu academic graduate programs in Education in the state of MS in the period from 1990 to 2020, obtained through a systematic review in the digital databases, and their articulation with the creation and possible consolidation of the scientific field of Mathematics Education in the region. Therefore, we present the results obtained through these productions and the importance of contributions from neighboring fields, such as Education, for the creation of the field of Mathematics Education.
