Biosensors on teaching quality in applied higher education institutions from a biomechanical perspective
Abstract
This study examines the impact of wearable biosensor technology on student engagement and academic performance in educational settings. The purpose was to investigate how experience with biosensors influences engagement levels and whether this engagement correlates with academic success. Key issues addressed include the unexpected negative correlation between biosensor experience and academic performance, indicating that reliance on technology may not always enhance learning outcomes. Innovative aspects of this research involve identifying the complex relationship between technology use and educational effectiveness, underscoring the need for strategic integration. Proposed solutions include enhanced educator training and active learning strategies that effectively utilize biosensors. The feasibility of these solutions is supported by existing literature on effective teaching practices. Ultimately, findings highlight the importance of thoughtful technology integration to foster meaningful learning experiences.
