Sistema tutor afectivo para el aprendizaje de las matemáticas usando técnicas de gamificación

According to international assessments in basic education levels, Mexico is among the countries with the lowest score in regard to the learning of mathematics. This paper presents the design of an Affective Tutoring System for Learning Mathematics (ATSLM), which relates learning situations with mathematical exercises oriented to the current official curriculum in Mexico. The tutor includes a bimodal emotion recognition, a gamification technique for student motivation and feedback for each exercise according to the user's learning style. The score for each exercise is determined based on variables such as response time, number of attempts and the exercise complexity level. Student's emotional state is incorporated to determine the next exercise. The results obtained with students, showed a satisfactory degree of acceptability as a significant advance in certain learning outcomes of the curriculum.
