<span>In this paper we present some operational indicators to assess the theses presented by graduates of the <span>MA</span> in Mathematics Education. The paper presents data from the theses by orientation, by thematic field, and by theoretical framework and methodological tools; and lists the authors most often cited. Using this information, we infer graduates' vision concerning mathematics education; their role as teachers; and the knowledge that various courses have left with them for their professional development. The question this research seeks to answer is: what theoretical framework and methodological tools did students working on their Master's Degree in Mathematics Education use to carry out their proposals for pedagogical intervention in their theses?</span>
