碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 生醫工程研究所 === 103 === Many researchers indicate that the engagement helps learning better for students. Csikszentmihalyi proposed the flow theory is related with the engagement. The theory describes that the level of optimal experience depend on the students who perceived challenge of the task and their own skill. When the challenge and skill get balanced, student will be in flow and keep complete absorption or engagement in learning. This study design a scenario of pedagogical activity for students by a tutoring system and detect their flow condition during learning activity. The system take one to one tutoring by computer through the network. The information that students interact with system is also recorded for analyzing and modeling by machine learning technique. The finding of the relationship between mouse click duration and flow conditions also suggests that the students’ usage of standard input devices is a feature which may contain abundant information for developing future flow model.
