A Study of Student Behavior in Classroom Response Systems

Abstract

The Classroom Response System (CRS) is a useful tool for enhancing interactivity between teachers and students in the classroom. Through its use of smart devices and PCs, CRS is expected to effective at aiding both classroom interaction and learning. However, these devices can be used for more than CRS; they may also serve as entertainment tools. This study investigates the behavior of students who use CRS on such devices. Specifically, it analyzes log data of student behavior, focusing on student responses and their behavior of switching application programs on CRS. The results of analysis show a trend that students who immediately switch applications after answering a question on CRS have a low correct answer rate.
