| Resumo: | Physiology and assessment constitute major bottlenecks of school learning
among students with low socioeconomic status. The limited resources and household
overcrowding typical of poverty produce deficits in nutrition, sleep, and exercise that
strongly hinder physiology and hence learning. Likewise, overcrowded classrooms hamper
the assessment of individual learning with enough temporal resolution to make individual
interventions effective. Computational measurements of learning offer hope for low-cost,
fast, scalable, and yet personalized academic evaluation. Improvement of school schedules
by reducing lecture time in favor of naps, exercise, meals, and frequent automated
assessments of individual performance is an easily achievable goal for education. |
