摘要: 人工智能技术的持续发展推动了教育智能化进程,学生行为分析成为支持精准教学与个性化教育的重要研究方向。然而,现有方法大多依赖专用模型进行行为特征提取与分类,结果通常以抽象标签呈现,缺乏可解释性和直观性。为实现在线学习场景下学生专注行为的自然语言表达,构建了一个在线课堂场景下图文对齐数据集,包含学生在线学习图像及其对应专注行为描述,涵盖单帧图像与多帧图像序列两种形式;在此基础上,提出了一种面向学生专注行为描述任务的多模态微调方法,并在视觉语言大模型Qwen2.5-VL-3B和Qwen2.5-VL-7B上进行了微调验证。该方法基于头部姿态、视线方向和面部表情设计提示词,引导模型学习学生专注度相关特征,并设计学生专注度感知损失,增强模型对学生行为的理解精度。实验结果表明,微调后的模型较现有视觉语言模型在学生专注行为描述任务中具有较好的准确性。

Abstract: The continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technologies has accelerated the intelligent transformation of education,with student behavior analysis emerging as a key research area supporting precision teaching and personalized learning.However,existing approaches often rely on specialized models for behavior feature extraction and classification,with outputs typically presented as abstract labels,lacking interpretability and intuitiveness.To enable natural language descriptions of students' attentiveness in online learning scenarios,this paper constructs a vision-language alignment dataset for online education contexts,consisting of student learning images paired with corresponding attention-related behavior descriptions.The dataset includes both single-frame images and multi-frame image sequences.Building upon this dataset,it proposes a multimodal fine-tuning method tailored for the task of describing students' attentive behaviors.Experiments are conducted on the Qwen2.5-VL-3B and Qwen2.5-VL-7B vision-language models.The proposed method incorporates prompt design based on head pose,gaze direction,and facial expressions to guide the model in learning attention-related features.Furthermore,this paper introduces an attention-perception loss to enhance the model's understanding of student behavior.Experimental results demonstrate that the fine-tuned models achieve superior accuracy in describing student attentiveness compared to existing vision-language models.

Key words: Visual language model, Student behavior analysis, Online learning, Engagement access
