“…Automatic identification of children's emotions from facial expressions is even more challenging due to additional factors, like lack of available datasets with children faces and the ways children react when they know pictures are taken with them. In [34], we have conducted a pilot study in order to determine the appropriateness of several ML-algorithms for children's emotions automatic identification from their facial expressions, using different datasets (composed of adults and children faces). In different projects, several teams of 3-5 students from our faculty have implemented various methods for emotion recognition in images and videos.…”

Edutainment applications are a type of software that is designed to be entertaining while also being educational. In the current COVID-19 pandemic context, when children have to stay home due to the social distancing rules, edutainment applications for young children are more and more used each day. However, are these applications ready to take the place of an in-person teacher? In this paper, we propose a new generation of edutainment applications that are more suitable for preschoolers (aged 3–6 years old in our country) and closer to the in-person student–teacher interaction: emotions aware edutainment applications. We discuss the most important challenges that must be overcome in developing this kind of applications (i.e., recognizing children’s emotions, enhancing the edutainment application with emotion awareness, and adapting the interaction flow) and the first steps that we have taken for developing them.

“…The educational process should become interactive, attractive for students (Samat, 2020), and correspond to their age characteristics (Ponomarova & Lebedenko, 2021). The teacher should also be proficient in quick methods of determining student satisfaction with the learning process, for example, by facial expressions (Guran et al, 2020;Lebedev et al, 2020).…”

The purpose of this study was to identify effective interactive methods in preparing students in grades 1-4, as well as to investigate their impact on learning outcomes. The work uses theoretical and empirical methods. The analysis of existing interactive teaching methods, their selection in accordance with the age characteristics of primary school students and educational needs. Also, a pedagogical experiment was carried out based on the implementation of the developed model of using interactive teaching methods in grades 1-4 of general secondary education institutions and monitoring the learning outcomes obtained in this case. A survey of teachers and students was carried out. The study showed that the use of interactive methods in the lessons of the Ukrainian language and mathematics contributes to the growth of students' interest in studying these disciplines. As a result, there is an increase in the level of educational achievements of students from average to sufficient, and in some cases from sufficient to high. Thus, in this work it is proved that the proposed model of teaching using interactive methods that take into account the age and individual characteristics of students is highly effective. Further research should be carried out with the aim of correcting existing interactive methods in accordance with the modern educational needs of students and their individual characteristics. Research is also needed to identify new interactive methods and study their impact on learning outcomes.

“…Because children are usually willing to please the adults, the use of interviews to gather their subjective opinion on the applications is not relevant. In [11] we have proposed a method to automatically identify children' emotion during the interaction. The main focus was on identifying the presence of negative emotions and the interaction context where they have occurred, to guide our future redesign decisions.…”

Early childhood education (ECE) encompasses, at its most basic level, all forms of education, both formal and informal, provided to young children up to approximately 8 years of age. Some of the benefits include a diminished risk of social-emotional mental health problems and increased self-sufficiency as children mature and enter adulthood. It is during this period that children go through the most rapid phase of growth and development. Their brains develop faster than at any other point in their lives, so these years are critical. The foundations for their social skills, self-esteem, perception of the world and moral outlook are established during these years, as well as the development of cognitive skills. Lately, digital literacy and its practices are added as a need for future personal and professional development of children and developing digital competence already at kindergarten level can also help to raise awareness on safety issues and build critical thinking among them regarding content and devices that they use. This paper describes a new approach in supporting the development of digital literacy skills of preschoolers aged 5 to 6 in the context of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) students volunteering for ICT activities in kindergarten along with building edutainment applications. There is also a report of key digital competences established by the kindergarten teachers involved, and monitored for formation during the activities.
