Accurate detection of student behavior in the classroom helps analyze students' learning states and contributes to improving teaching effectiveness. We propose the PLA-YOLO11n classroom behavior detection model. We design a novel C3K2_PConv module that integrates partial convolution with modules from the YOLO11 network and apply it to the backbone and neck feature fusion layers. To enhance small-target feature representation, we incorporate a large-kernel self-attention (LSKA) mechanism and replace the SPPF at the end of the backbone with the attention feature integration module (AIFI). We also add a high-resolution detection head. Experimental results on the SCB2 dataset demonstrate that the improved model outperforms the original YOLO11, achieving an increase of 3.8% in mean average precision ([email protected]).
