Establishing Teacher-Student Communicative Empathy in a Multimodal Interactive Environment and Skill Enhancement

Abstract

The multi-modal interactive environment is an important object of research in the field of modern education, and its influence on the communicative empathy of teachers and students gets increasingly obvious these days. However, the complex and dynamic features of communicative empathy of teachers and students are usually overlooked in existing studies, so this paper aims at investigating the teacher-student communicative empathy in a multi-modal interactive environment to fill in the said research gap. At first, the problem of feature fusion of communicative emotions of teachers and students in a multi-modal interactive environment was discussed, and a comprehensive and detailed model was established for measuring the features of these emotions. Then, problems of the recognition of emotional intentions of teachers and students and the establishment of their communicative empathy were studied, and a set of effective measures were proposed for enhancing the said communicative empathy, in the hopes of providing useful theoretical and practical evidences for noticing the importance of teacher-student communicative empathy in teaching and enhancing the ability of the said emotions.
