We
invite papers which present complete, in progress, or theoretical research on
the following topics. Case studies and review papers are also encouraged.
Based on the quality of the submissions we are considering publishing
post-workshop proceedings in a special issue on Affect and Learning for the
International Journal of Learning Technology. Authors will be required to
provide expanded versions of their submissions which will undergo an additional
review process for inclusion in the special issue.
Links between Affect and Learning: Empirical Research and Theory
-
The
complex interplay between cognition, motivation, and affect
-
How
does the term "affect" relate to terms such as motivation, emotion, feeling
and mood? Can we define these related terms clearly and distinctly from
affect?
-
The
impact of emotions on knowledge acquisition (learning) and transfer
-
The
effect of emotions on cognitive abilities, self-regulated learning activities,
and learning styles (e.g. goal or mastery oriented), personality traits (shy,
pessimistic)
-
How
do different learning domains -e.g. Science, Mathematics, Languages influence
a student's affective states
-
How
do different learning contexts - e.g. individual, collaborative, formal or
informal – influence a student's affective states
-
Environmental factors that cause affective experiences and launch affect
trajectories
-
Mixed
models of affect
Pedagogical Strategies that Incorporate Affect
-
Pedagogical strategies to optimally manage specific affective states
-
Reactive or proactive interventions to relieve negative emotions
-
Interventions to facilitate positive affective states (such as interest,
engagement)
-
Implementations of these strategies in tutoring systems and learning
companions
Affect Measurement by Humans and Computers
-
Machine learning techniques to diagnose and detect affect in learning contexts
-
Use
of tutoring contextual information to predict affect
-
Multisensory affect recognition
-
Methods to establish construct validity in measuring affect (a conceptual
quality)
-
Inferring affect without the use of explicit emotion categories
-
Methods to validate the accuracy of affect recognition systems
Affect Expression by Humans and Computers
-
Individual differences in experiencing and manifesting affect.
-
Affect synthesis by embodied conversational agents
-
Implications of affect expression on embodied theories of cognition.
