Development of Evaluation System of Student's Concentration in Active Learning

In recent years, Active Leaning (AL) has been attracting attention as a method of education. AL is different from traditional lecture-based education where the teacher is at the centre of the learning experience, and it is typically teachers who perform the Active Teaching for the students. So, students wait to receive knowledge, a style that is passive, and do not learn for themselves using their knowledge. Nowadays, the workforce requires human resources that can come into action voluntarily. However, there are some problems such that effective evaluation method of active learning in the practice of active learning has not been established. Therefore, in this study, for the purpose of improving the quality of active learning, we develop the evaluating system of active learning students. As a method, we propose to evaluate the student by measuring the degree of concentration or activity using biometric information. The biological information we use are considering combining several such eye blinking or GSR and so on. To develop the evaluating system is to reduce the burden of teachers, and, since it is possible to carry out an objective evaluation of students, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of the quality of active learning.
