To systematically review the research findings related to teachers' disciplinary power, this paper constructs a three-dimensional framework model covering educational stages, disciplinary methods, and teaching types. Using this as a tool, a comprehensive analysis is carried out on the core documents included in CNKI from 2000 to 2024. The research results show that the research process of teachers' disciplinary power can be divided into three stages. In the initial stage, the academic community mainly discussed the rationality and legitimacy of teachers' disciplinary power. In the middle stage, the research focus gradually shifted to the methods and measurement of teacher discipline. In the later stage, the research focus was on the disciplinary subjects and legislation. Further in-depth analysis from each dimension of the three-dimensional framework model reveals that, in the dimension of educational stages, research on disciplinary measures in higher education is relatively weak compared with the rich research results on disciplinary measures in primary education.
