Abstract

Emotions have a significant impact on the learning process. In particular, the academic emotion of confusion can play both a positive and a negative role during educational activities. Although confusion can foster intentional deliberations about the subject at hand, a student who remains confused for an extended period of time may transition to purely negative academic emotions. This article presents the results obtained through the analysis of data obtained from 25 students who made use of the PAT2Math intelligent tutor system and performed a personality test, highlighting the influence of different personality traits and previous performance in algebra on the students' permanence time in the academic emotion of confusion. Through statistical modeling from the perspective of survival analysis, it was possible to identify and model statistically significant differences in the time spent in confusion of students with distinct personality traits and previous knowledge of algebra.
