Abstract
Despite its growing relevance, there is a lack of consensus regarding the typologies of technological knowledge, as well as gaps in the literature on existing classifications. This article presents a systematized review of the typologies of technological knowledge identified in the literature. The research was conducted through a systematized review, encompassing the stages of formulating the research question, developing the protocol, selecting data, synthesizing and analyzing, and presenting the results. Fourteen articles specifically addressing typologies and another ten discussing the characteristics of technological knowledge were identified. The analysis consisted of comparing each typology with the evidenced characteristics, seeking to identify possible relationships between them. The relevance of this research lies in its contribution to the advancement of knowledge in the area, fostering the development of concepts that may have practical and academic implications.
