Abstract

The current growth of technologies reflected in different areas, with regard to education, the growth of virtual teaching modalities and the interest in training is remarkable. In this context, MOOCs bring new teaching and learning methods, but still with a high dropout rate. Studies report that affective states play an important role in learning, affectivity is highlighted here, as, applied to education, it allows the teacher to design the course according to the student's affectivity. Therefore, this paper investigate how the use of affective can help in the creation of MOOCs, verifying its influence on the engagement of students and without the number of graduates. The review was carried out following the methodology of systematic mapping and the results show that the use of affective in MOOCs is an area that is still little addressed in Brazil, and the conduction of researches that investigate this experience allows for an understanding of courses and students.
