Examining the relationship of personality traits with online teaching using emotive responses and physiological signals

Abstract

In the education sector, there is a rapid increase in using online teaching and learning scenarios. Making these scenarios more effective is the main purpose of this study. Though there are a lot of factors that affect it, however, the primary focus is to find out the relationship between a teacher's personality and their liking for online teaching. To conduct the study, a framework has been proposed which is a mixed design of self-reported (emotions and personality) data and physiological responses of a teacher. In self-reported data, along with teachers, learners' perception of a teacher's personality is also considered which explores their relationship with online teaching. The final results reveal that teachers with a high level of agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness personality traits are more comfortable with online teaching as compared to extraversion and neuroticism traits. To validate the selfreported data analysis, the physiological responses of teachers were recorded that ensure the authenticity of the collected data. It also ensures that the physiological responses along with emotions are also good indicators of personality recognition.

PROPER: Personality Recognition based on Public Speaking using Electroencephalography Recordings

“…Personality trait recognition has been performed using subjective as well as objective measures [17]- [19]. Interviews with a psychologist and psychological questionnaires developed by researchers have been used for subjective personality trait recognition.…”

“…In literature, a wide range of personality recognition methods using physiological signals have been presented [19], [32], [43]- [50]. The existing studies can be divided into two main categories i.e., personality recognition using restingstate signals [51], [52] and personality recognition in response to a stimulus [31].…”

“…The mean participants' scores for extrovert vs introvert, agreeableness vs non-agreeableness, conscientiousness vs lack of conscientiousness, neuroticism vs emotional stability, and openness to experience vs closed to experience traits are 19, 27, 22, 18, and 23 respectively. In our dataset, the number of participants labeled as extroverts, introverts, agreeable, nonagreeable, conscientious, lack of conscientiousness, neuroticism, emotional stability, openness to experience, and closed to experience are 21,19,21,19,20,20,20,20,19, and 21 respectively.
