Learning Face – A Tool to Work with Emotions and Learning Using Facial Expressions
Abstract
Nowadays is widely accepted that emotions significantly influence the learning process, but how to recognize the student's emotions, and how to relate the various types of emotions to learning, remains an open question. This article presents a tool that uses the student's emotions to improve the teaching-learning process. Students' facial expressions are automatically obtained through a facial expression recognition tool - Learning Face. Thus, it is possible to establish relationships between facial expressions, emotions, teaching methodologies and student performance.
