CID 0548 Synopsis

This document discusses mining educational data to analyze student performance. It aims to use data mining techniques to discover hidden knowledge in educational datasets that can predict student enrollment, performance, and identify those needing extra assistance. The researcher uses a decision tree classification model on a university dataset to evaluate student performance and extract knowledge describing their end of semester exam results. This helps identify at-risk students who may dropout or need counseling to improve.

MINING EDUCATIONAL DATA TO ANALYZE STUDENTS PERFORMANCE ABSTRACT

The main objective of higher education institutions is to provide quality education to its students. One way to achieve highest level of quality in higher education system is by discovering knowledge for prediction regarding enrolment of students in a particular course, alienation of traditional classroom teaching model, detection of unfair means used in online examination, detection of abnormal values in the result sheets of the students, prediction about students performance and so on. The knowledge is hidden among the educational data set and it is extractable through data mining techniques. Present paper is designed to justify the capabilities of data mining techniques in context of higher education by offering a data mining model for higher education system in the university. In this research, the classification task is used to evaluate students performance and as there are many approaches that are used for data classification, the decision tree method is used here. By this task we extract knowledge that describes students performance in end semester examination. It helps earlier in identifying the dropouts and students who need special attention and allow the teacher to provide appropriate advising/counseling.
