Abstract

This paper presents an exploratory study that seeks to analyze the emotional map of a group of 4th -grade elementary students from Chile during activities in the unit “Measurement: units of length, perimeter and area”, study gender differences, and explore the existence of emotional patterns. The study uses a situated perspective that considers emotions to be part of local affects, short-lived and linked to specific conditions. The methods employed are a frequency analysis, a  2 test, a non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test, and a cluster analysis. Globally, the map shows 45% positive emotions and 18.3% negative emotions. Men exhibit a higher average of blank responses than women, and appear less concerned. Lastly, clustering made it possible to define five emotional patterns.
