OntoLearnWell: a context-based ontology oriented to emotional well-Being in the educational environment

Abstract

Ubiquitous learning emerged from the combination of ubiquitous computing technologies with learning models focused on mobility and adaptation to the different contexts of the student's daily life. In this way, this technology can be offered as a resource in the student's relationship with the educational context, allowing to offer, find and retrieve information in the student's interaction with the learning environment. Understanding these relationships can help to organize information that impacts students learning and make decisions to regulate their well-being in the search for more meaningful learning. The organization of data in context information format, which includes identity, place, time and status, facilitates the analysis of results and decision making by educational managers. Ontologies are intended to store and share knowledge through classes and relationships. This article proposes the OntoLearnWell ontology, focusing on ubiquitous learning and emotional well-being using context information. The ontology was implemented in Python language and SPARQL queries were used to extract data, using as a scenario a high school and the relationship between teachers and students during a practical laboratory class.
