We are interested in the links between biophysiology and perceptions, beliefs and behaviours students and teachers have in real-time educational contexts. Modern technology affords user-friendly and cost-efficient ways of collecting self-reports (e.g., apps, iPads) and objective measures of biophysiology using unobtrusive wearable devices (e.g., heartrate monitors, accelerometers). While some measures (e.g., movement) may have a direct value for educational research, other measures (e.g., heart rate) are usually seen as proxies for underlying psychological processes such as stress or other affective responses. Ultimately, using biophysiological measures will enable us to focus on how “mind” and “body” function in interplay in education.
