In this study, we investigate "objects of study" among Brazilian researchers in Physics Teaching, in an attempt to identify characteristics that allow the organization of themes or contents to be taught in a course called Didactics of Physics. Moreover, we decided to ask about the research methods and the main theoretical frameworks, as well as a succinct characterization of these researchers' professional profiles, in order to broaden the answers' understanding of the question. Such questions were asked through a validated questionnaire designed specifically for each researcher. Data collected allowed us to conclude that the "objects of study" in physics teaching's research in Brazil are diverse, but possible to be understood in interrelated thematic fields. We also found the research's multidisciplinary nature in the area, which allows us to deduce that teaching of Didactics of Physics must have the same character.
