There is agreement in the literature that affect influences learning. In turn, addressing affective issues in the recommendation process has shown their ability to increase the performance of recommender systems in non-educational scenarios. In our work, we combine both research lines and describe the SAERS approach to model affective educational recommendations. This affective recommendation model has been initially validated with the application of the TORMES methodology to specific educational settings. We report 29 recommendations elicited in 12 scenarios by applying this methodology. Moreover, a UML formalized version of the recommendations model which can describe the recommendations elicited is presented in the paper.
