Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of sentiment analysis among learners in higher education. It takes into account students’ perceptions both individually and collectively, evaluating the effectiveness of teaching through the lens of sentiment analysis. Specifically, it examines students’ understanding of subject delivery and their engagement during classes. Additionally, it assesses the adaptability of online learning environments in higher education, aiming to evaluate their effectiveness, identify challenges, and highlight benefits. Qualitative and quantitative measures are employed to gauge the performance of courses, which refers to both the instructor’s credibility and the students’ pursuit of knowledge. The research also delves into the sentiments of students enrolled in programming language and related software engineering courses. This study outlines the impact of emerging technology trends on higher education. It reveals that the existing dataset of course feedback may be biased, potentially skewed in favor of positive opinions over negative ones, or influenced by gender disparities. Moreover, such datasets are often scarce and may raise concerns about privacy. Nevertheless, real-time sentiment analysis of learners facilitates more effective curation of online courses. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating longitudinal and multimodal data to enhance analysis. However, challenges such as the cross-lingual mixed dataset can hinder model efficiency, despite their significance for improving explainability. Ultimately, this research emphasizes the importance of domain-specific studies and the temporal aspects of sentiment in the educational landscape. It aims to establish a solid foundation for both theory and practice in sentiment analysis within higher education, serving as a valuable resource for assessing and enhancing the higher education system.
