Session Submission Summary

Interdisciplinary Approaches for Analyzing Data From Multiple Affective Channels With Computer-Based Learning Environments

Sat, April 5, 8:15 to 9:45am, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 113A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Emotions are a critical component of effective learning and problem solving with computer-based learning environments (CBLEs). There has been a recent surge in interdisciplinary research, which has led to a plethora of new tools and technologies to measure emotions. However, these new opportunities have also lead to a variety of conceptual, theoretical, methodological and measurement issues that need to be resolved before educational prescriptions can be reliably and validly used to improve emotions and learning with CBLEs. This symposium brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers who analyze multiple channels of affective data using different approaches. This session will provide a venue for them to share their cutting-edge approaches and help advance educational researchers’ methods for examining emotions.
