Abstract: Student behaviour recognition is crucial for intelligent education but faces challenges in accuracy, robustness under complex conditions like occlusion and lighting variations, and cross-scenario generalisation. This paper proposes the EAST-GCN-HRNet model, which integrates spatiotemporal features and multimodal data to enhance recognition precision and robustness. The model combines HRNet's high-resolution feature extraction, GCN's temporal joint graph modelling, and the EAST module's feature fusion within an end-to-end, multi-scale framework. Experimental results demonstrate the system achieves 86.5% mAP on the SCB-Dataset3 test set, outperforming HRNet by 3.8%. It also shows strong generalisation, with a PCK@0.2 of 63.8% on the AP-10K animal pose dataset (11.5% higher than Hourglass), and robustness with only 4.8% mAP decay in dynamic occlusion scenarios - half that of baseline models. With a real-time inference speed of 28 FPS and a teacher experience rating of 4.6/5, the model provides a reliable tool for intelligent education.
