A learning situation determining method and apparatus is disclosed. The learning situation determining method includes collecting psychophysiological response information of a learner on a first learning image, collecting stimulated recall response information of the learner based on a stimulated recall of the learner in response to a second learning image including a same learning content as the first learning image, determining cognitive load in the leaner that is recalled in each learning interval of the second learning image based on the psychophysiological response information and the stimulated recall response information. Alternatively, the learning situation determining method includes determining cognitive load in a learner learning a learning image for each learning interval of the learning image using psychophysiological response information of the learner based on prior knowledge possessed by the learner and task complexity of the learning image. Alternatively, the learning situation determining method includes determining a learning level of a learner based on an achievement level and a tension level of the learner.
