Increasing Student Achievement by Improving the Psycho-Emotional Atmosphere of the Geography Class M. Naaderi H. Abdollaahzaadeh, Ph.D. The spread of new technologies has tremendously changed classroom atmospheres in the developed countries, and as a result, learning packages are utilized ever more frequently in their schools. In Iran the use of such packages is picking up spe...

Technology Enabled Learning is a cognitive, constructive, systematic, collaborative learning procedure, which transforms teaching-learning pedagogy where role of emotion is very often neglected. Emotion plays significant role in the cognitive process of human being, so the transformation is incomplete without capturing the learner’s emotional state. This paper, proposes a new Affective Computin...

to testify the contrastive properties of two combinations of emotional intelligence (ei) index including emotional vs. cognitive subscale dyads among some one hundred and twenty university students (52 male & 68 female), this study was carried out to predict their success in their general english (ge) course during one academic semester. datasets were obtained through a self-report bar's o...

This study set out to provide empirical evidence on the relationship between EFL teachers' emotional intelligence, reflectivity, and autonomy, and their students' L2 performance. The participants of this study included 88 EFL teachers who taught English at different private English teaching institutes and their students (N = 1266). First, the teachers completed three validated questionnaires: E...

In this paper a new control strategy based on Brain Emotional Learning (BEL) model has been introduced. A modified BEL model has been proposed to increase the degree of freedom, controlling capability, reliability and robustness, which can be implemented in real engineering systems. The performance of the proposed BEL controller has been illustrated by applying it on different nonlinear uncerta...

BACKGROUND Alexithymia, or "no words for feelings", is a personality trait which is associated with difficulties in emotion recognition and regulation. It is unknown whether this deficit is due primarily to regulation, perception, or mentalizing of emotions. In order to shed light on the core deficit, we tested our subjects on a wide range of emotional tasks. We expected the high alexithymics t...

In this paper, a high-performance optimal fractional emotional intelligent controller for an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) in power system using Cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) is proposed. AVR is the main controller within the excitation system that preserves the terminal voltage of a synchronous generator at a specified level. The proposed control strategy is based on brain emotional ...

This paper presents a new method for sentiment analysis in Facebook that, starting from messages written by users, supports: (i) to extract information about the users' sentiment polarity (positive, neutral or negative), as transmitted in the messages they write; and (ii) to model the users' usual sentiment polarity and to detect significant emotional changes. We have implemented this method in...

To provide a rich learning experience, an intelligent tutoring agent should be able to take into account past and present events, and to learn from its interactions with learners to continuously improve the assistance it provides. Until now, the learning capabilities of tutoring agents in educational technologies have been generally very limited. In this chapter, we address this challenge with ...
