Abstract: Research in Mathematics Education has shown that the Affective Domain, which encompasses beliefs, attitudes, and emotions, exerts a significant influence on mathematics learning. However, little is still known about how the Affective Domain affects mathematics teaching by teachers. Therefore, the aim of this essay is to reflect on the need to research the relationship between the Affective Domain and the MTSK model through a literature review of studies that address both concepts. The PRISMA methodology has been employed for this purpose. The results indicate a disconnect between the Affective Domain and the MTSK model, which represents an opportunity to explore how affective factors can impact teachers’ specialized knowledge of mathematics, both directly and indirectly. This is of great importance as it could lead to the inclusion of affect in the various theoretical models used to describe teachers’ mathematical knowledge.
