摘要：Recommender Systems provide users with content or products they are interested in. The main purpose of Recommender Systems is to find, among the vast amount of information that is available or advertised on the Internet, content that meets the user’s needs i.e., a product or content that satisfies his or her wishes. These systems are being used more and more in many of the services of our daily lives. In this paper, a systematic mapping review that explores the use of Rec- ommender Systems in formal learning stages is presented. The paper analyzes what kinds of items the Recommender Systems suggest, who the users that receive the recommendations are, what kinds of information the Recommender Systems use to carry out the recommendation process, the algorithms and techniques the Recommender Systems employ and, finally, how the Recommender Systems have been evaluated. The results obtained in the review will make it possible to iden- tify not only the current situation in this field but also some of the challenges that are still to be faced.
