Modeling students’ classroom behaviors can help educators and researchers better understand these behaviors, and further guide students toward well behaviors. Conformity refers to the tendency to change individual behavior to match group behavior. Through observation and experience, educators have accumulated much linguistic knowledge for describing and understanding students’ conformity behavior and influence. This paper presents a fuzzy logic approach for modeling participants’ classroom behaviors. The simulation results about two observed college classes show that the constructed fuzzy logic system is congruent with the observed participants’ classroom behaviors. Existing findings, as well as new findings, are verified through further simulation and analysis. The proposed fuzzy logic system helps educators quantitatively analyze and understand students’ conformity behavior in classroom.
