| Summary: | This study proposes an automated classification framework for evaluating teacher behavior in classroom settings by integrating AlphaPose and Faster region-based convolutional neural networks (R-CNN) algorithms. The method begins by applying AlphaPose to classroom video footage to extract detailed skeletal pose information of both teachers and students across individual frames. These pose-based features are subsequently processed by a Faster R-CNN model, which classifies teacher behavior into appropriate or inappropriate categories. The approach is validated on the Classroom Behavior (PCB) dataset, comprising 74 video clips and 51,800 annotated frames. Experimental results indicate that the proposed system achieves an accuracy of 74.89% in identifying inappropriate behaviors while also reducing manual behavior logging time by 47% and contributing to a 63% decrease in such behaviors. The findings highlight the potential of computer vision techniques for scalable, objective, and real-time classroom behavior analysis, offering a viable tool for enhancing educational quality and teacher performance monitoring. |
