Resumo


The different learning style models and applications might be an obstacle for those who are seeking to start to work in this field. Also, one might not be able to find some key papers that many regard as good starting points. This paper presents a systematic mapping, done with 102 papers, in regards to learning style identification and usage, and seeks to create a starting point for those who are starting to work on these research fields. The results show the predominance of a few learning style models and learning object metadata models. Also, there is a high amount of works focusing on personal solutions with non-automatic detection and adaptation models.
