The conception of the sense of life, and its derivations, have an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary potential. This article presents an Integrative Literature Review about this conception in journals in the field of Education, based on the database of the Portal de Periódicos da Capes. The following statement was taken as a guiding question: How is the conception of the sense of life situated in articles from periodicals in the area of Education? The results show that the notion of sense of life is worked on by research in different perspectives, differentiating from a more situational level to a more global one, or between a more motivational character and another one more cognitive and centered on meaning, or in relation to the methodological approach , or the explanatory approach. The survey showed that the concept of the sense of life has been used in the production of periodicals in the area of Education in several countries. On the other hand, the number of articles that worked with this conception, in the last five years, within their investigative process, is shown to be small, given the problematization capacity that is related to such conception.
