SILVA, Luciano Campos da  and  MATOS, Daniel Abud Seabra. Indiscipline in PISA: between intra- and extra-school factors. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.28, n.68, pp.382-416.  Epub May 01, 2017. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v28i68.4590.

This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of school indiscipline using data from PISA 2012; to apply a multilevel linear regression model considering the disciplinary climate as the dependent variable and to identify explanatory intra- and extra-school factors associated with indiscipline. The most significant contribution of this paper is to point out that the indiscipline issue seems to be more dependent on intrathan extra-school factors. Classical variables such as socioeconomic status, type of school and gender had no explanatory power over indiscipline, problematizing the idea that the phenomenon is directly associated to students’ social background. The school proportion of repeaters proved to be the factor of greatest impact on indiscipline.

Keywords : School Indiscipline; PISA; Multilevel Linear Regression; Student Behavior.
