The study analyzes articles, dissertations and Brazilian theses about (in) school discipline. The information collection was carried out in the electronic bases of Google Academic and of the database of Capes, totaling 105 productions in the period 1998-2016. The abstracts of these productions were processed by the software ALCESTE and SIMI. The first one issued a report dividing the textual corpus into lexicographic classes, and the second organized the keywords graphically. The information processed by the software was interpreted by the content analysis (BARDIN, 2011). The results indicated: a) theoretical-methodological plurality; b) multiplicity of meanings attributed to (in) school discipline; c) small samples of investigated subjects; d) methodological aspects with insufficient and inaccurate descriptions; e) allusion to pedagogical aspects restricted to the context of the classroom.
