Summary/Abstract: Today's trend is the use of information technology in all areas of our lives. Emotions are a basic human characteristic, although they are difficult to define, recognise and classify. Proper assessment and recognition of human emotions can lead to a better understanding of user behaviour. The aforementioned technologies can also be used as a suitable teaching aid, which forms the core of the research and is able to guarantee an increase in the success rate of the teaching process itself in terms of students' understanding of the learning materials. The aim of the research was the use of sensor networks as an element of information and communication technologies in the educational process. Using the possibility of measuring physiological functions through smart wristbands in order to identify changes in students' emotional states. The overall proposed system was able to identify changes in students' emotional state, specifically levels of arousal. Based on the results from the proposed system, teachers should be able to adjust their teaching style in specific situations to suit the students and provide a basis for better teaching and learning.
