The present article presents the results of a bibliographic quali-quantitative research, which analyzed a group of 134 studies, thesis and dissertations, produced in the main Education Graduate Programs in the state of São Paulo which focused on teachers’ work. The research considered the time frame from 1996 to 2018, which coincides with the implementation of neoliberal reform measures in the public education system of the state São Paulo. The objectives of this article are: a) analyze the academic production - thesis and dissertations - related to teachers’ work given the educational reform in the state in said period - 1996-2018; b) identify the steps and types of teaching approached in the thesis and dissertations; c) map the main Graduate Programs in which the studies are being produced; d) recognize the main methodological approaches used; e) identify concept of teachers’ work used in these academic works; f) present the main analytical axis produced in that period. The result of this study presented the effect in school’s daily life of a policy that, for years, has been implemented from the top to the bottom, with actions such as the curricula standardizations and the regulation through external evaluations. Measurements which do not leave teachers’ work unscathed and that, besides altering their possibilities of establishing an autonomous process, negatively modified their work conditions and relations. The main result of this investigation indicates a growth and consolidation of teachers’ work as a specific field of research in the education area.
