Abstract

This research deals with the curriculum and school cultures, discussing ways to condition and disciplinary bodies, principles and values through the experience of individuals currently in school culture. It is a case study in a school on the outskirts of Maceió. Its main purpose is to expose a set of disciplinary techniques used in pedagogical practices, analyzing them not only as a means of coercion and oppression, but also in its productive aspect. The methodology for data collection was observation of the performance of three classes of elementary school, interviews with the students and teachers observed, finally crossing and analysis of data collected from Foucault s (2008, 2009) perspective of discipline. The results show some of the arguments used by the teachers to the possibility of using disciplinary techniques in their teaching practice. According to the teachers, disciplinary power is exercised and acts positively on the education and training of the pupils. The learners, in turn, agree to demonstrate the vision of the teachers.
