Abstract
Abstract Flow theory derives from Positive Psychology and addresses an individual’s optimal state of conscience Flow state provides the individual high concentration, relaxation, control over anxiety, and satisfaction while performing a certain task, originating from the optimal state of conscience that is experienced when achieving the proposed objective. Thus, this study aims to conduct a systematic literature review to understand how flow theory is being used in the context of education and learning in Brazil. We conducted a search for publications in the databases SciELO, Index Psi, LILACS, PePSIC, PsycINFO, BDTD, and the Capes platform. Two hundred and sixty studies were found, however, only 5 met the inclusion criteria of this study, that is, to present flow theory as the main theme, to be linked to education, and to be a study conducted in Brazil. From the selected articles, it was possible to identify that, in Brazil, flow theory is being used within music, physical education, language and computer engineering teaching. Thus, aiding the motivational process, promoting cooperation, participation and engagement of teachers and students in teaching and learning environments. Despite this, the scenario of publications in this field is still reduced.
