Application of Analytical Tools in Student Retention System
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering, Science and Mathematics - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Higher education is learning that is provided by universities, vocational universities, degree colleges, arts colleges, technical and medical colleges, and other institutions that award academic degrees. Higher education is normally taken to include undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as vocational education and training. Colleges and universities are the main institutions that provide higher education. Higher education is now subject to heightened scrutiny as government, accrediting agency, parents and donors call for new ways for monitoring and improving students‘ success. For the purpose of accountability, institutions are being asked to present data that document their accomplishment. These data is generally gathered by accrediting agencies. The modern analytical and statistical techniques can be used to analyze the students‘ data and develop predictive model. This model may help in predicting which students might be in academic difficulty, allowing faculty and advisors to intervene. In turn, this will lead to improvement in teaching, learning, and student success. Thus, such techniques may become a valuable tool in institutional improvement and accountability.
