Abstract

Wearable devices are used to gather information about users and their environments in an unobtrusive way and are present in several areas, including education. This systematic mapping provides an overview about the current state of research in educational settings where students’ data were collected using wearables. 16 articles were selected and analyzed to answer two research questions: how the data has been collected, and the context and goal of the experiments reported. A trend was noticed regarding the usage of inertial commercial sensors involving elementary school children. The most common goal (56%) concerned offering feedback to the teachers or to the school.
