This paper presents an analysis of theses, dissertations and articles addressing moral education in schools. Electronic data bases were surveyed, in which 85 works were found. The analysis was aided by software ALCESTE and SIMI. The findings revealed that most researches were developed in the Southeast region, great part of investigations are empirical, and observation and interview have been the main data collection instruments. Results also highlighted four distinct classes. Class 1, concentrating over 70% of the information analyzed was the most significant and pointed to the need to build in school a space for ethical training of students as well as for the construction of values​​and moral autonomy. Class 3, on the other hand, addressed conflicts in classroom as a difficult process. Finally, classes 2 and 4 showed, respectively, the research environments and the methodological aspects that give birth to these scientific productions.

Keywords : moral education; school; literature review.
