Attention-Guided Dual-Stream Learning for Group Engagement Recognition: Fusing Transformer-Encoded Motion Dynamics with Scene Context via Adaptive Gating

Student engagement is crucial for improving learning outcomes in group activities. Highly engaged students perform better both individually and contribute to overall group success. However, most existing automated engagement recognition methods are designed for online classrooms or estimate engagement at the individual level. Addressing this gap, we propose DualEngage, a novel two-stream framework for group-level engagement recognition from in-classroom videos. It models engagement as a joint function of both individual and group-level behaviors. The primary stream models person-level motion dynamics by detecting and tracking students, extracting dense optical flow with the Recurrent All-Pairs Field Transforms network, encoding temporal motion patterns using a transformer encoder, and finally aggregating per-student representations through attention pooling into a unified representation. The secondary stream captures scene-level spatiotemporal information from the full video clip, leveraging a pretrained three-dimensional Residual Network. The two-stream representations are combined via softmax-gated fusion, which dynamically weights each stream's contribution based on the joint context of both features. DualEngage learns a joint representation of individual actions with overarching group dynamics. We evaluate the proposed approach using fivefold cross-validation on the Classroom Group Engagement Dataset developed by Ocean University of China, achieving an average classification accuracy of 0.9621+/-0.0161 with a macro-averaged F1 of 0.9530+/-0.0204. To understand the contribution of each branch, we further conduct an ablation study comparing single-stream variants against the two-stream model. This work is among the first in classroom engagement recognition to adopt a dual-stream design that explicitly leverages motion cues as an estimator.
