Flipped learning is an emerging teaching pedagogy gaining popularity in academia. In this methodology, students are given pre-recorded lectures to watch as homework before coming to the live classroom. In the classroom, students engage in activities like problem-solving, peer teaching, projects, and presentations. However, this methodology lacks a way to monitor student attention while watching the pre-recorded lecture videos, which could lead to a decrease in their learning outcomes. We address this problem by designing a multi-output deep learning model to categorize students as attentive or non-attentive. The proposed model is an autoencoder-classifier neural network that uses brain waves (EEG signals) collected from students while watching the lecture videos. The model analyzes the brain waves to classify whether a student was attentive or not while watching a particular lecture video. We conducted experiments using a dataset specifically collected for flipped learning pedagogy in the laboratory. Experimental results are evaluated with standard performance metrics such as precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy. The proposed model outperforms other classification models, including EEGNet, Shallow ConvNet, Deep ConvNet, Siamese Neural Network (SNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN).

摘要

Flipped learning is an emerging teaching pedagogy gaining popularity in academia. In this methodology, students are given pre-recorded lectures to watch as homework before coming to the live classroom. In the classroom, students engage in activities like problem-solving, peer teaching, projects, and presentations. However, this methodology lacks a way to monitor student attention while watching the pre-recorded lecture videos, which could lead to a decrease in their learning outcomes. We address this problem by designing a multi-output deep learning model to categorize students as attentive or non-attentive. The proposed model is an autoencoder-classifier neural network that uses brain waves (EEG signals) collected from students while watching the lecture videos. The model analyzes the brain waves to classify whether a student was attentive or not while watching a particular lecture video. We conducted experiments using a dataset specifically collected for flipped learning pedagogy in the laboratory. Experimental results are evaluated with standard performance metrics such as precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy. The proposed model outperforms other classification models, including EEGNet, Shallow ConvNet, Deep ConvNet, Siamese Neural Network (SNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN).
