Predicting the Learner´s Emotional Reaction towards the Tutor´s Intervention

The tutor tries, by using feedbacks, to keep the learner´s attention and to increase his motivation and then his performance. However, the effectiveness of the tutor´s feedbacks on the learner varies from one learner to another. It depends essentially on the learner´s traits and it is reflected in the learner´s emotional reaction. Consequently, it is important to detect the learner´s emotional reaction following the tutor´s intervention in order to personalize the feedback type. Our proposal consists of a methodology, based on machine learning technique, able to predict the learner´s emotional reaction starting from the analysis of descriptive variables of the learner´s current situation, such as: personality, motivation and tutor´s feedback type.
