DATA MINING IN EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS & TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 13, Issue 9
Abstract
Currently there is an increasing interest in data mining and educational systems, making educational data mining as a new growing research community. Higher education, throughout the world is delivered through universities, colleges affiliated to various universities and some other recognized academic institutes. The main objective of higher education institutes is to provide quality education to its students. Indian education sector has a lot of data that can produce valuable information which can be used to increase the quality of education. Good prediction of student’s success in higher learning institution is one way to reach the higher level of quality in higher education system. In this paper we analyzed the potential use of data mining in education section and survey the most relevant work in this area. Data Mining can be used for dropout students, student’s academic performance, teacher’s performance and student’s complaints. As we know large amount of data is stored in educational database, so in order to get required data and to find the hidden relationship, different data mining techniques are developed & used. Various algorithms and data mining techniques like Classification, Clustering, Regression, Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, Association Rules, Decision Trees (CART and CHIAD), Genetic algorithms, Nearest Neighbor method etc. are used for knowledge discovery from databases and helps in prediction of students academic performance. In future work we can apply different data mining techniques on an expanded data set with more distinct attributes to get more accurate results.
