Abstract

The study purposes to develop a Smart Early Childhood Education Service System (SECESS) including emotion detection, statistical analysis, and training service for kindergartens. The digital content comprises 40 emotion-detection (ED) games and 40 sandwich-dialogue (SD) animations. The findings show the improvement of parents’ and teachers’ SD ability by using 40 SD animations and a significantly positive correlation between SD ability and children’s emotional ability. The application of findings in practice builds a global education farm experience. The application of findings in follow-up research is to predict children's emotions based on parents’ and teachers’ SD ability.
