# Development and Evaluation of an Image Processing-Based
## 4 Discussion
Similar to this study, studies in which the Kinect system was used for teaching purposes concluded that it was much more effective than classical teaching methods with a significant difference, especially in English language teaching [30,31]. [PERSON], [PERSON], and [PERSON] (2018) [35] found that a gesture-based learning system with a Kinect sensor (GBLS) positively affected students' intrinsic motivation. [PERSON] (2011) reported that XBOX Kinect, as a learning tool, can potentially increase student motivation and create a pleasant classroom environment. [PERSON] (2012) [29] reported that Kinect allows students to communicate more with games through their own movements. In almost all of the studies in the literature where the Kinect sensor was used for educational purposes, the participants were involved in games with a television screen on the opposite side in 3D. In addition, they realized data flow with their hands without moving too much from their position. This leads to movement limitation and cannot reflect real movements. Therefore, both the motivation and focus of individuals and kinesthetic learning will remain limited. However, in this study, the participants moved in a 4 \(\times\) 3 m area and provided the data flow with their feet. The qualitative data and video recordings show that the students' focus and enjoyment levels were very high. These levels were directly reflected in the achievement test results. Numerous studies in the existing literature indirectly support the findings of this research, demonstrating that kinesthetic learning contributes to increased active engagement in English as a second language (ESL) classes [36,37]. Additionally, multiple investigations have found that kinesthetic learning fosters active participation among ESL students in various activities [38]. A study by [PERSON] et al. [39] reported that engaging in physically active classroom lessons could enhance students' comprehension of the content, aiding in long-term retention. Beyond academic achievement, integrating movement may be beneficial for students facing challenges in grasping academic content. The observed enhancement in academic performance and positive student attitudes align with the existing literature, suggesting that the kinesthetic approach influences the brain, thereby improving learning and cognitive functions. The positive impact of physical activity on memory, learning, anxiety, stress, depression, and attention deficit is evident, all of which significantly affect students' academic performance [40, 41, 42]. Research indicates a connection between the brain region associated with \"body learning\" and cognitive processes, highlighting the natural stimulant effect of exercise, play, and activity on circulatory and neurovascular systems [14]. [PERSON] [43] further reported that physical activity enhances learning by optimizing mindsets for improved alertness, attention, and motivation, promoting the connection of nerve cells in response to new information, and fostering the development of stem cells into nerve cells for efficient internal information transfer. However, a notable limitation of this system is its dependency on sufficient classroom space for the projection onto the floor. Its applicability is constrained in classrooms with limited space and areas featuring a multicolored background. Another drawback is the necessity for a high-resolution projection device and depth camera. Additionally, crowded classrooms may impede student rotation and complicate classroom management.
