The Impact of Teacher Engagement, a Tool for Self-Adaptive Teaching

Student engagement is crucial to the learning process. Usually, the relationship between engagement and academic performance has been studied, focusing on cognitive, emotional and behavioural aspects, relegating the teacher and his or her performance to a secondary role. This study hypothesises that teacher engagement also influences student engagement. Using cloud-based technologies and edge computing, we propose the demo of a tool that alerts teachers to their own perceived level of engagement in an objective and automatic way. Preliminary tests show the potential of this tool to capture the evolution of the teacher's engagement level under different circumstances.
