The use of brain-computer interface (BCI) devices for teacher assessment represents a significant advancement in the objective measurement of the teaching-learning process.
In the article "Use of BCI devices in students for teacher assessment," authors Arturo Corona Ferreira, Mijael Altamirano Santiago, and María de los Ángeles López Ortega, researchers from the Virtual University of the State of Michoacán and the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico, explore how BCI technology, through low-cost devices and open-source software, allows for the analysis of students' physiological activity in a classroom environment.
This study employs electroencephalography (EEG) techniques to capture attention levels and other neurological indicators that reflect the effectiveness of teaching methodologies from a cognitive neuroscience perspective.
The research highlights the importance of integrating BCI technology in the educational field, not only to enhance the understanding of cognitive processes in a real learning context but also to provide precise feedback to educators about the impact of their teaching methods.
By collecting physiological data directly from the students' brains as they interact in the classroom, educators can gain valuable insights that were traditionally lost with more subjective evaluation methods such as questionnaires.
This methodology opens new doors to optimize teaching and adapt it more effectively to the cognitive needs of students.
