A indisciplina na instituição escolar: o trabalho com assembleias de classe no desenvolvimento de crianças morais autônomas

The problems with discipline and violence in their several manifestations in classrooms in both public and private schools have been a major challenge for educators.

From the description of situations experienced within the school context by children between seven and eight years old who study in a public elementary school, we tried to emphasize its importance through the analysis of thoughts and the moral development in this group, involving real dilemmas emerging from the familiarity between teacher-student and student-student.
