The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of Persuasive Technology (PT) within the realm of educational settings. However, persuasion has been used in education for a long time to support teaching and foster the development of skills as well as learning. In today's world, computers are used for more than simply making our lives easier, as in areas like office work and education; they are also used to persuade and encourage people to change the way they feel or act about certain issues. PTs may be used as learning aids in the fields of Social Assistance, Health, Environment, Research and Development, Education, and Advertising, operating directly or indirectly. This study identifies and incorporates this field of knowledge, beginning with the identification of the most important publications that link the use of PTs in educational settings.
