Summary/Abstract: The analysis of how emotions influence the teaching-learning process is an instrument which, in recent years, has helped open new avenues for educational research and has also yielded interesting results. For example, it is suggested that the students’ emotional engagement is an essential factor in their learning process (Wosnitza & Volet, 2005). With the advent of new online learning environments, interesting new studies have been published on the subject of emotions and their relation to learning development (Rebollo, García-Pérez, Barragán et al., 2008; Rebollo, García-Pérez, Buzón & Vega, 2014).
