| description | Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently erupted into the field of education, offering novel opportunities, particularly in the analysis of student behaviour. There is a lack of knowledge on the use of AI in assessing attention; hence, a <b>scoping review (ScR)</b> is proposed. The aim is to explore and analyse the scientific literature related to such implementations in educational settings. We included empirical studies published in English between 2017 and 2023, focusing on the application of AI in formal learning environments. Theoretical reviews and studies conducted outside the field of education were excluded. The databases consulted were Scopus, Web of Science, and APA PsycInfo. The studies were selected by three independent reviewers using Rayyan, and the data were organised with predefined forms and analysed using VOSviewer. A total of 26 studies were identified. Research conducted in Asia (China) was predominant, although we found significant contributions from Europe and America. The methodological approaches were primarily experimental, focusing on mechanical observation and AI-based analytical techniques. The approaches adopted and the elements common to AI applications are discussed, highlighting implications for researchers, professionals and teachers. |
