Exploring high school students’ emotions in energy illustrations by using EDA Sensors
Keywords:
academic emotions, energy images, electrodermal activity EDAAbstract
Academic emotions are a multidimensional phenomenon (Pekrun et al., 2004; Shuman, V., & Scherer, K. R. 2014) involving different processes. However, the students’ cognition and outcomes are related directly to students’ academic emotions, the electrodermal Activity (EDA) is one of the electrical parameters that can be used to determine the emotional state including stress levels. In this presentation, we explore high school students’ emotions in physics by using those sensors. First, data from two different versions of EDA sensors are compared with self-reported emotions by using a computerized version of Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) (Bradley & Lang,1994). In this step we compared our data to the data of the technical handbook (Lang et al., 2008). Second, we profile students’ emotions of energy images with EDA sensor data and self-reported data. The data from both EDA sensor systems are comparable. But no connection between EDA sensor data and self-reported data can be found. We also can differentiate different clusters of energy pictures according to students EDA levels.
