Assessing the relationship Between the Emotional States of Individuals and their Effect on Mental Performance while Dealing with Activities Demanding Intellectual Effort
This project aims to explore the intricate relationship between an individual’s psychological state and their engagement with academic materials. By using emotional questionnaires and carefully crafted metapuzzles that mirror the critical thinking challenges students face, the goal is to uncover ways to maximize productivity by leveraging the emotional aspects of learning. This research will explore how emotions influence productivity and develop new strategies to harness these insights for optimal academic performance, particularly for efficient, effective, and personalized educational experiences. If the outcomes are encouraging, the process will be streamlined into a tool that instructors and students can easily access.
