This paper presents a methodological proposal for automatic identification of emotions in educational environments using machine learning algorithms and physiological and behavioral signal acquisition technologies to identify relations between emotions and learning. Four of the main learningcentered emotions are considered [1]: engagement, boredom, confusion and frustration. It is proposed to make a fusion of data from two physiological and behavioral signal acquisition technologies with the objective of achieving the identification of emotions in the most precise manner. Therefore, considering the stages of the proposed methodology, the first of them is presented and the design of the experiment that will be executed for data collection. The development of an appropriate database with elements belonging to a learning environment for the study of emotions is an essential task.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
