Enriched Feedback of Classroom Dynamics Using AI

PhD Thesis · Federico Pardo

This thesis addresses the gap between algorithmic modeling and teaching practice by proposing a computational architecture for synchronous classroom analysis. By fusing paralinguistic features and multilingual semantic analysis, the research demonstrates that audio contains stratified levels of pedagogical information capable of activating teacher reflection processes through objective and transparent metrics.
