Survey assesses LLM and knowledge graph integration for explainable reasoning and emotion-aware support in education, implying potential enhancements in learner well-being.

Key Points

This survey aims to evaluate how the integration of LLMs and KGs can enhance explainability and emotional support in educational settings.
Conducted a multimodal literature review across Scopus, IEEE Xplore, and SpringerLink from 2020 to 2024.
Focused on studies addressing LLM explainability, KG integration, and affective adaptation.
Analyzed selected papers using a three-axis framework covering technological synergy, evaluation metrics, and equity gaps.
Found that hybrid systems enhance interpretability, engagement, and personalization in tutoring environments.
Identified limitations due to the lack of metacognitive modeling and standardized affective metrics.
Proposed actionable strategies for developing transparent and emotion-aware tutoring systems.
