The OECD's PISA tests currently represent a point of reference when it comes to evaluating education systems. This international test arouses great interest and debate not only in public opinion, but also in the academic field, from where research is published in various areas of study. For this reason, the purpose of this article is to analyze the trends in the literature on the PISA tests to determine how it has been approached in the last 21 years in research journal articles. The method used consisted of a bibliographic review from the Scopus database, which is complemented by an analysis of bibliometric networks where the co-occurrence of words, the journals with the greatest impact, and a study of the most cited authors and documents are analyzed. The result of this text is that, on the one hand, the articles are framed mainly in methodological aspects, the impact and the results of the tests, and on the other, that the articles on PISA deal mostly with studies and research from European countries, with low incidence in investigations of Latin American countries.

This article systematizes the specific literature on LGBTQIA + cinema and education, identifying the methodological process and its main scientific contributions. Methodologically, when introducing the literature review as a research technique, it was intended to contribute to the construction of a literature review in a more systemic way so as to guarantee reliability in the production of scientific knowledge. It was verified, from the selection of variables and inclusion/exclusion criteria, that the analyzed studies about LGBTQIA+ cinema and education, suggest an absence of scientific productions on the theme, which undermines the problematizations and contributions to the destabilization of norms, classifications and hierarchies in the field of education.

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.

Although autism has received special attention in current scientific literature, there are still gaps that need to be investigated. This article refers to a review of the Brazilian literature on autism in the fields of Psychology and Education, aiming to identify the current scenario of scientific literature on this topic. To this end, a survey was conducted of scientific articles published in Brazilian journals from 2007 to 2012. The survey included 156 articles, whose abstracts were analyzed and categorized. In all categories, a systematization was identified of the characteristics of autism and the development of interventions for the reduction of symptoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
