Abstract

This document presents an analysis based on a systematic review carried out on the most recognized topics related to academic emotions in the different mechanisms of research and emotional evaluation, trying to focus attention on the initial programming courses, based on the basic programming concepts, independently of the tool in which these concepts are applied, taking into account that the programming courses are considered relevant courses for the training of computer engineers; mechanisms for the evaluation of emotions are also identified. The main emotions in academic contexts are identified and the aim is to identify elements and analysis through the gender variable. Analyses are done focusing on academic emotions. Subsequently, the factors by which women are not linked to the area of software engineering are analyzed, from the perspective of the high drop-out rates due to the programming courses and the impact of the low participation of women in the software sector in the world order, taking into account the roles in which women perform satisfactorily in the software industry.
