Abstract
Classroom behavior monitoring plays a vital role in evaluating student engagement and improving teaching effectiveness. Traditional observation methods remain subjective and lack scalability. This study introduces a real-world dataset of classroom videos collected at the Banking Academy of Vietnam (BAV-Classroom dataset), annotated with nine distinctive behavioral categories. State-of-the-art Computer Vision models were evaluated and compared, with YOLOv11 achieving the best performance. Experimental results indicate that students' concentration often decreases notably during the final part of lectures, highlighting challenges in sustaining engagement. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of applying computer vision for automated classroom monitoring, providing valuable insights for academic quality management.
