Variability of Heart Rate and learning in applied educational environments, personality, emotion and circadian preference in university students
Variability of Heart Rate; Learning; Personality; Emotion; Circadian Preference
It is a constant concern of all educational institutions at all levels to understand the mechanisms involved in the Teaching-Learning processes (Mokhtar-Noriega et al, 2016), mainly in the psychobiological interactions of the contexts applied. Therefore, based on two specific theoretical premises as a conceptual support of the present proposal: There is only effective learning during the Teaching-Learning processes if all the components of human cognition are mobilized and this can be measured by the autonomic response of the Variability of Heart Rate (HRV). Thus, the general objective of the study is to verify the theoretical hypothesis of what the Global Dimension of Human Cognition is related to Heart Rate Variability as an objective measure of attention in applied educational environments and its association between Academic Performance, Personality, Emotion and Circadian Preference in university students: 1) Describe the Variability of Heart Rate associated with Learning in an applied educational environment, Personality, Emotion and Circadian Preference in university students. 2) To identify the association between Heart Rate Variability, Academic Performance, Personality, Emotion and Circadian Preference in university students. In this paper, we propose a methodological approach for group interactions in ecologically natural environments (Dikker et al., 2017), derived from the intersubjective correlation approach in semi-naturalistic educational environments (Dikker et al., 2014). during a teaching-learning process.
