Forum is used in a different context, where it is a space for communication and interaction. The Forum can be personal, corporate and organizational or thematic. Forum is also organized in category. In education it receives varied use. The objective of this work was to carry out a bibliographic, qualitative research on the Forum, in order to clarify aspects of the use of forums in an educational context. In order to achieve success, a narrative review of the selected literature was undertaken. The investigation involved the survey of articles, theses and dissertations on the topic, whose selection considered the period 2015-2019. Of the 91 publications analyzed, 20 were chosen, with 16 articles, 2 dissertations and 2 theses. This text describes how the forum is used, and highlights its main results. A scenario was found where specialists pointed to a society organized around digital information and communication technologies. Based on this scenario, a role for the Forum was outlined. Different strategies for using the Forum were identified. It was clarified that the activities developed from forums suggest a perspective of change in relation to traditional teaching methods. Forums are ways to promote the socialization of knowledge in the classroom and beyond. Based on these approaches, the perspective that remains is that which identifies the use of the forum as a facilitator of teaching-learning.
