Popis: Storytelling is one of the most important learning activities for children since reading aloud from a picture book stimulates children’s curiosity, emotional development, and imagination. For effective education, the procedures for storytelling activities need to be improved according to the children’s level of curiosity. However, young children are not able to complete questionnaires, making it difficult to analyze their level of interest. This paper proposes a method to estimate children’s curiosity in picture book reading activities at five levels by recognizing children’s behavior using acceleration and angular velocity sensors placed on their heads. We investigated the relationship between children’s behaviors and their levels of curiosity, listed all observed behaviors, and clarified the behavior for estimating curiosity. Furthermore, we conducted experiments using motion sensors to estimate these behaviors and confirmed that the accuracy of estimating curiosity from sensor data is approximately 72%.
