A Survey of Some Interdisciplinary Methods and Tools to Measure Learners' Emotions in Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Emotion measurement in Educational technology is an important topic which amalgamates the computer-based education (specifically the intelligent tutoring systems ITS) and the emotion measurement. This will have a positive effect for gradually improving the performance of the educational process. It will be fruitful for the educational environment to adopt the measuring emotions techniques, emotion intelligence, and emotion recognition. This is useful for collecting information about students' emotions and directs the educational process to better performance. Adopting such technologies will face some challenges. Some of these challenges include data acquisition from the physiological and psychological tools, handling of different data types, manipulation of data, decision to recover the detected problem, cost of both the physiological and psychological tools,....etc. The researchers are interested in this field of studies to adapt instruction to develop the responding of a student's affective state. So, these studies will take student gradually to the best performance in his educational material.
