• Abstract:

  Electrodermal activity (EDA) is a method to investigate psychophysiological phenomena with applicability in several areas of research, and research on the use of the EDA device in education has significantly addressed student engagement when exposed to learning environments. This work aims to present an analysis of the applicability of the electrodermal activity device in the educational environment. For this analysis, we examined the effectiveness of using the electrodermal activity device in teaching/learning environments, as well as exploring methodologies frequently used in research to measure student engagement with the aid of such a device. The research method used is the integrative literature review, as the review is necessary to compile existing evidence on the use of electrodermal activity in teaching environments. It is concluded that the applications of the electrodermal activity device in teaching/learning environments are assertive, whose objective is to measure and compare the intensity of students' brain oscillations both in the traditional teaching method and in the active learning method, based on the assumption that the greater the student's brain oscillation, the better their engagement.
