Affective Learning Manifesto – 10 Years Later

چکیده

In 2004 a group of affective computing researchers proclaimed a manifesto of affective learning that outlined the prospects and white spots of research at that time. Ten years passed by and affective computing developed many methods and tools for tracking human emotional states as well as models for affective systems construction. There are multiple examples of affective methods applications in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). This paper revises whether the white spots from the 2004 manifesto have been covered as well as explores the progress in affective tutoring systems construction. The article provides also a brief comparison of selected affective tutoring systems. When reviewing affective computing literature in 2014 one might be impressed – there are algorithms that recognize affect from diverse input channels with accuracies reaching over 90%. There are emotional virtual characters and some of them are used in e-learning environments. However, although there is much progress in affective computing research, it seems that more white spots are found than covered, which is typical for relatively young scientific domains. Highest emotion recognition accuracies are obtained for distinguishing two emotions, which is obviously not enough for learning systems. Some of the future challenges include: improvement of both accuracy and granularity of emotion recognition, methods for emotion representation models mapping and comparison, integration of emotion recognition results from multiple input channels, effective intervention models for learning, design patterns and frameworks for affective tutoring systems, models for quantifying and integration of uncertainty related to emotional states recognition, affectadaptive control flows and more. The thesis of this paper can be summarized as follows: Affective computing grew up from infancy, however it is still far from maturity especially when applied to learning support. During the decade of diverse investigations, affective-cognitive imbalance in ITS has changed in research, however has not changed in learning support tools.

Affective learning — a manifesto

The use of the computer as a model, metaphor, and modelling tool has tended to privilege the ‘cognitive’ over the ‘affective’ by engendering theories in which thinking and learning are viewed as information processing and affect is ignored or marginalised. In the last decade there has been an accelerated flow of findings in multiple disciplines supporting a view of affect as complexly intertwin...

A Study on the Level of Learners' Readiness for Learning from the View Point of B.S. Students in Isfahan Medical University in 2001

Introduction. One of the basic human activities is learning and education. Indeed the role of education is to facilitate learning but many internal or external factors affect the learning process such as learners’ physical, affective and mental readiness. If we don’t pay attention to these factors, they will lead to a superficial learning and finally the trained and graduated students won't be...

The Video Analyst’s Manifesto (or The Implications of Garfinkel’s Policies for the Development of a Program of Video Analytic Research within the Learning Sciences)

Cast as a manifesto, this chapter presents a set of foundational principles for conducting “video research” within the learning sciences. Our proposed approach draws chiefly upon the literature and methodology of Conversation Analysis (CA). Conversation Analysis developed out of and shares the thematic interests of the broader field of inquiry known as Ethnomethodology (EM). EM is centrally con...
