It was identified that, with 90% of the studies presented an approach related to one or more of the principles of the landmark. However, none of the studies analyzed directly used the EAN landmark as a reference in the methodological description or used it as a theoretical basis in the construction of the text. In addition, 40% of the studies analyzed carried out actions with the use of problematizing and active educational approaches and resources that favored dialogue among the participants.
