Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Concentration and learning performance of all the students are difficult to track throughout courses. The study recruited 13 participants and asked them to solve a problem used in the International Olympiad of Linguistics in 2018 using a website designed for the task. Participants’ face videos were recorded while they were solving the problems. Action Unit codes (AU), which are facial features related to expressions were extracted with an open-source software, Openface. One of authors evaluated the recorded face to classify the participants into “strongly engaged” group and “weakly engaged” group for the first attepmt. We used lightGBM to train a model to classify the participants into the two groups using AUs extracted by Openface. The classification accuracy of testing data evaluated by five validation method was 95.1%. The intensity of AU04, AU17 and AU25 are the best three features to contribute to the classification. They are “brow lowerer”, “chin raiser” and “lips part”, which suggest that facial features of eyes, cheek and mouth are important to estimate engagement levels. The present study further analyze the mental states of the participants, the classification accuracy was 73.9% using the same classify method as mentioned. Several feature sets for classifier training were discussed in the present study.
