Abstract

Introduction: The agony of the rationalist paradigm of education becomes stronger every day; the evidence provided by neuroscience shows that emotions are definitive in the path of learning. Methodology: The implemented methodology used specialized databases, such as ProQuest, Eric, Google academic and the repository of the Marcelino Botín Spanish Foundation, to identify studies, articles and books related to the expression of emotions in learning, based on terms such as "emotion ", "emotional expression", "learning", "education". Studies were analyzed to determine trends. Results: Some findings allow us to establish that emotions play a determining role in the formation of memory and attention during the learning process, either to weaken or strengthen it, which is related to academic success or failure. The debate arises from the tensions that emerge between having to learn, which is associated with emotions such as fear, and wanting to learn, which is related to emotions such as trust and love. Conclusions: It is concluded that negative emotions affect academic success and that it is associated with evaluation systems, teacher teaching styles, and student's social niches.
