The relation between individual student behaviours in video presentation and their modalities using VARK and PAEI results

This research paper aims to investigate the relationship between students' personality characteristics using well-recognized models and their behaviours and activities in video content presentation. This paper is part of a research study focusing on video tagging methods for analysing the behaviour of team members. The authors analysed videos of student group presentations and a data set of student personality tests of the same student cohort, identifying their characteristics. By finding a relation between the two we better support students after assessing video content. The study aims at pursuing associations between human behaviour and personal modalities. This practice cab be very supportive in student assessment and career coaching. The work carried out was based on quantitative research methods for analysing the videos and combining them with two personality models, VARK (Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinaesthetic) modality preferences test and PAEI (Producer, Administrator, Entrepreneur, Integrator) methodology to give us information about student modality and leadership preferences. We found the average of behaviour occurrence and presentation duration average for each VARK profile and PAEI roles. We conclude from our results that students with an Administrator role in PAEI roles and with Multimodal and Aural style in VARK model are the most self-talking, while the highest average value for eye focus behaviour is for students with Producer role in PAEI roles and with Visual style in VARK model, and the largest speech loudness average is for students with an Administrator role in PAEI roles and with Visual style in VARK model.
