An institutional analysis is a study that investigates institutional factors, based on concerns raised by the researcher. This analysis is one of the important practices in research education aimed at the study of phenomena that emerge in the learning/teaching process. In this article, we conduct an institutional analysis of projects related to the academic curriculum, textbooks and students as institutional elements of a higher education institution, considering multiple integrals as the object of study. But, how is an institutional analysis performed, and for what didactic purpose? These questions constitute the basic element of reflection in this article. The answers led us to conclude that an institutional analysis identifies the conditions and requirements that determine, in an institution, institutional practices related to objects of study required in the training of human resources. It encourages the development/organization of the didactic sequences aimed at studying the effective practices of people from the institution related to the objects of study proposed, thus contributing to the development of educational research.
