  • Applying image processing techniques to education, the face of the learner is photographed, and expression and movement are detected from video, and the system which estimates degree of concentration of the learner is developed. For one learner, the measuring system is designed in terms of estimating a degree of concentration from direction of line of learner's sight and condition of the eye. In case of multiple learners, it must need to measure each concentration level of all learners in the classroom. But it is inefficient because one camera per each learner is required. In this paper, position in the face region is estimated from video which photographs the learner in the class by the difference between frames within the motion direction. And the system which detects the face direction by the face part detection by template matching is proposed. From the result of the difference between frames in the first image of the video, frontal face detection by Viola-Jones method is performed. Also the direction of the motion which arose in the face region is estimated with the migration length and the face region is tracked. Then the face parts are detected to tracking. Finally, the direction of the face is estimated from the result of face tracking and face parts detection.

  • Recently, e-learning has been attracting significant attention due to COVID-19. However, while e-learning has many advantages, it has disadvantages as well. One of the main disadvantages of e-learning is that it is difficult for teachers to continuously and systematically monitor learners. Although services such as personalized e-learning are provided to compensate for the shortcoming, systematic monitoring of learners' concentration is insufficient. This study suggests a method to evaluate the learner's concentration by applying machine learning techniques. In this study, emotion and gaze data were extracted from 184 videos of 92 participants. First, the learners' concentration was labeled by experts. Then, statistical-based status indicators were preprocessed from the data. Random Forests (RF), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and an ensemble model have been used in the experiment. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) has also been used for comparison. As a result, it was possible to predict e-learners' concentration with an accuracy of 90.54%. This study is expected to improve learners' immersion by providing a customized educational curriculum according to the learner's concentration level.

  • The established Web Based Learning System had not encouraged Multi-Learner Interaction. The System for Multi-Learner Interaction proposed an alternative measure. By now, this System for Multi-Learner Interaction have applied the sphere of Web Based Learning. But, Actually, the Multi-Learner's Interaction and Feedback of this System has a few effective and confidence, because this System has much time gap between Interaction and Feedback of Multi-Learner primarily. This Research propose an answer of this Problem, Web Based Real Time Quiz-game Type Learning System for Multi-Learner Interaction. Moreover, this System expect increased concentration ability for Learning and strong motivation of Learning for the greatest Learning effects in a Subject Solution course of Learners with founding Web Based Quiz-game Type Learning. So this Research will design and implement the Web Based Real Time Quiz-game Type Learning System for Multi-Learner Interaction.

  • In non-face-to-face teaching-learning, a survey was conducted on 55 students in the department of chemistry education at university A on the variables (behavioral control, instructor-learner interaction, cognitive learning) affecting learning satisfaction and academic achievement. There were relatively large positive correlations between variables. The positive correlation between them was found to be the factors that influenced learning satisfaction and academic achievement in non-face-to-face teaching-learning. The average values of non-face-to-face teaching-learning for each variable were lower than the corresponding values of face-to-face teaching-learning, respectively. As a result of the perception survey on the detailed factors of each variable, negative responses were relatively high in factors such as 'concentration of behavior' in behavioral control, 'level-considered explanation' in instructor-learner interaction, and 'knowledge understanding' in cognitive learning.

  • It is important to encourage students who are having difficulty learning mathematics and majors due to lack of basic knowledge, and encourage them to improve their academic performance by focusing on and participating in class. The purpose of this study is to confirm the applicability of the Jigsaw Method by analyzing the change of the learner's academic achievement and the attitude of the learner's mathematics by applying the Jigsaw Model. During the four weeks, the Jigsaw Model was applied to 30 experimental students and the instructor-led lectures were given to 36 students in the comparative group. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the average of the experimental groups applying the Jigsaw model was higher than the average of the comparative group in the lecture class. The results of the survey showed that the Jigsaw Model increased class concentration and participation, helped self - directed learning, and had high learning satisfaction.

  • The smart paradigm in the modern society is bringing about a rapid smart sensation and there are means of informational communications being developed with the smart technology in various fields. Accordingly, for an effective smart education, it is necessary to create the customized educational contents for the learners, the users of the education. In this study, the contents of smart education are categorized based on the user experiences. As a result of the analysis, the 3 types of UX are found to have a playful influence on the learning concentration and it is also deduced that such concentration of a learner positively affects his or her attitude towards learning. Moreover, by the age and gender groups, there were differences in the preferences for each of the UX type, so that, in result, gave the valid data for designing and applying the suitable UX type for creating contents of smart education for different main target groups.

  • Due to the recent pandemic, most educational systems are being conducted through online classes. Unlike face-to-face classes, it is even more difficult for learners to maintain concentration, and evaluating the learners' attitude toward the class is also challenging. In this paper, we proposed a real-time concentration-based review support system for learners in real-time video lectures that can be used in online classes. This system measured the learner's face, pupils, and user activity in real-time using the equipment used in the existing video system, and delivers real-time concentration measurement values to the instructor in various forms. At the same time, if the concentration measurement value falls below a certain level, the system alerted the learner and records the timestamp of the lecture. By using this system, instructors can evaluate the learners' participation in the class in real-time and help to improve their class abilities.

  • The purpose of the study is to investigate the students' learning motive through the application of the learner-centered program Creative Teaching Technique(CTT) conducted by undergraduate school of Medical Record Information Management(MRIM), and to improve learning from the results. A questionnaire survey was carried out that started March to June 2013 among the sixty freshmen college students from the Health Administration Department who participated in the CTT during the 12 weeks training. The main results are as follows. The subjects' cognitive results form CTT were relativiely higher in 'increased voluntary participation(4.03)', 'improved concentration(4.00)', 'increased understanding(3.97)' in order. The effects of the tools used in CTT were higher as well in 'two members in a tem(4.08)', 'three-dimensional tools(4.03)' and 'quiz cards(3.95)' in order. While undergoing CTT, the learners considered reviewing repeatedly the content before starting and finishing as mostly helpful. Concludingly, this learner-centered CTT program identified having positive effects on their participation, concentration and understanding. To maximize the learning effects, development and activating a systematic, continuous and supportive program like this CTT is highly recommended.
