Higher learning institutions nowadays operate in a more complex and competitive due to a high demand from prospective
students and an emerging increase of universities both public and private. Management of Universities face challenges and concerns of
predicting studentsâ academic performance in to put mechanisms in place prior enough for their improvement. This research aims at
employing Decision tree and K-means data mining algorithms to model an approach to predict the performance of students in advance
so as to devise mechanisms of alleviating student dropout rates and improve on performance. In Kenya for example, there has been
witnessed an increase student enrolling in universities since the Government started free primary education. Therefore the Government
expects an increased workforce of professionals from these institutions without compromising quality so as to achieve its millennium
development and vision 2030. Backlog of students not finishing their studies in stipulated time due to poor performance is another
issue that can be addressed from the results of this research since predicting student performance in advance will enable University
management to devise ways of assisting weak students and even make more decisions on how to select students for particular courses.
Previous studies have been done Educational Data Mining mostly focusing on factors affecting studentsâ performance and also used
different algorithms in predicting studentsâ performance. In all these researches, accuracy of prediction is key and what researchers
look forward to try and improve.

Predicting student success has long been an interest of institutions of higher education as well as
organisations responsible for preparing high-stake, standardised tests administered at national and
international levels. This study discusses how performance prediction studies have evolved from those that
use demographic data and high school grades to predict success in college to those that utilise
sophisticated data collected in non-traditional educational platforms to predict end-of-course performance
and to those that show how student progress can be tracked in a continuous manner. A total of 56 studies
published since the nineties are discussed. Views on strengths and weaknesses as well as observed
opportunities for improvement are presented. The consistently high results reported in many of the studies
shall convince the reader that automated solutions to the problem of predicting student progress and
performance can either be tailored for specific settings or can be adopted from similar settings in which
they have been utilized successfully. A recommendation on how to build upon recent success is provided

Clustering Students of Computer in Terms of Level of ProgrammingEditor IJCATR

Educational data mining (EDM) is one of the applications of data mining. In educational data mining, there are two key domains, i.e. student domain and faculty domain. Different type of research work has been done in both domains.
In existing system the faculty performance has calculated on the basis of two parameters i.e. Student feedback and the result of student in that subject. In existing system we define two approaches one is multiple classifier approach and the other is a single classifier approach and comparing them, for relative evaluation of faculty performance using data mining
Techniques. In multiple classifier approach K-nearest neighbor (KNN) is used in first step and Rule based classification is used in the second step of classification while in single classifier approach only KNN is used in both steps of classification.
But in proposed system, I will analyse the faculty performance using 4 parameters i.e., student complaint about faculty, Student review feedback for faculty, students feedback, and students result etc.
For this proposed system I will be going to use opinion mining technique for analyzing performance of faculty and calculating score of each faculty.
Data Mining Techniques for School Failure and Dropout SystemKumar Goud

Abstract: Data mining techniques are applied to predict college failure and bum of the student. This is method uses real data on middle-school students for prediction of failure and drop out. It implements white-box classification strategies, like induction rules and decision trees or call trees. Call tree could be a call support tool that uses tree-like graph or a model of call and their possible consequences. A call tree is a flowchart-like structure in which internal node represents a "test" on an attribute. Attribute is the real information of students that is collected from college in middle or pedagogy, each branch represents the outcome of the test and each leaf node represents a class label. The paths from root to leaf represent classification rules and it consists of three kinds of nodes which incorporates call node, likelihood node and finish node. It is specifically used in call analysis. Using this technique to boost their correctness for predicting which students might fail or dropout (idler) by first, using all the accessible attributes next, choosing the most effective attributes. Attribute choice is done by using WEKA tool.

This paper highlights important issues of higher education system such as predicting studentâs academic performance. This is trivial to study predominantly from the point of view of the institutional administration, management, different stakeholder, faculty, students as well as parents. For making analysis on the student data we selected algorithms like Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, Random Forest, PART and Bayes Network with three most important techniques such as 10-fold cross-validation, percentage split (74%) and training set. After performing analysis on different metrics (Time to build Classifier, Mean Absolute Error, Root Mean Squared Error, Relative Absolute Error, Root Relative Squared Error, Precision, Recall, F-Measure, ROC Area) by different data mining algorithm, we are able to find which algorithm is performing better than other on the student dataset in hand, so that we are able to make a guideline for future improvement in student performance in education. According to analysis of student dataset we found that Random Forest algorithm gave the best result as compared to another algorithm with Recall value approximately equal to one. The analysis of different data mini g algorithm gave an in-depth awareness about how these algorithms predict student the performance of different student and enhance their skill.

Supporting the goal of higher education to produce graduation who will be a professional leader is a crucial. Most of universities implement intelligent information system (IIS) to support in achieving their vision and mission. One of the features of IIS is student performance prediction. By implementing data mining model in IIS, this feature could precisely predict the studentâ grade for their enrolled subjects. Moreover, it can recognize at-risk students and allow top educational management to take educative interventions in order to succeed academically. In this research, multi-regression model was proposed to build model for every student. In our model, learning management system (LMS) activity logs were computed. Based on the testing result on big students datasets, courses, and activities indicates that these models could improve the accuracy of prediction model by over 15%.

Are Gutters Necessary? Explore the details now!AmeliaLauren3
Â
Gutters are typically installed at a slight downward slope to allow water to flow freely towards downspouts or drains â the downspout being the vertical pipe attached to the gutters. The water is subsequently transported by the downspout to either the ground or an underground drainage system. Maintaining a gutter system that is free of blockages and functional requires regular maintenance.
But, many wonder in what situations gutters are required and not required. In this ppt we will discuss in detail the matter, âAre Gutters Necessary?â

Using Machine Learning To Predict Student Performance In Online
Learning Environments
By
Raunak Bedi
Abstract
Prediction of academic performance of students is one of the major topics for universities and
schools as it can be helpful to design the right mechanisms to avoid dropouts and improve
academic results, among others. A lot of processes have been automated in usual activities of
students to benefit them and manage big data gathered from software products for tech-based
learning. Hence, processing and analyzing the same data properly can give a lot of vital insights
to their knowledge and relation between students and their homework. This information can feed
promising methods and algorithms for prediction of student performance.
This study is conducted to analyze various machine learning models used for predicting studentâs
performance. This study presents an in-depth review of studies examining data of online learning
environments to predict studentsâ outcomes with machine learning techniques. This study will help
identify the online course features used for prediction of learnersâ outcome, determine the outputs
of prediction, strategies, and methodologies of feature extraction for prediction of performance,
evaluation metrics, and challenges and limitations for analyzing the outcomes.
Keywords: academic performance, student performance, online learning, machine learning
algorithms, machine learning models, online learning environments
Introduction
The way people used to learn has been revolutionized by online learning and education has never
been so convenient and affordable to billions of people worldwide. Irrespective of rising interest
and benefits of distance and online learning, universities and schools are highly concerned about
studentsâ retention and academic performance, along with low degree/certification completion
rates and high dropout rates.

Dropping out or failing an online program
or course is usually an important parameter
to assess course/program quality and
allocate resources by institutional
authorities.
Low certification and dropout rates are also
a major risk factor to profitability, funding,
and reputation of an institution (Arce et al,
2015). These outcomes have vast impact
on well-being, self-esteem, odds of
graduating, and employment of students
(Arce et al., 2015; Larusson & White,2014).
Hence, it is important to find more efficient
methods to forecast performance of
students as early as possible for students,
educators, and institutions to take necessary
measures for improving online learning
experiences of students and building
intervention strategies to meet the needs of
students. With rising interest of online
learning and big data produced by students
by interacting with online learning
environments, several machine learning
methods are proposed by researchers to
predict studentsâ performance and improve
their learning outcomes.
1.1 Background
Machine learning is applied in different
areas. For example, machine learning is
used in search engines to create relations
between webpages and search terms.
Search engines scan the websiteâs content
and define the most important terms and
words to define a specific webpage and use
the same information to return the most
relevant information to a given search term
(Witten et al., 2016). Machine learning is
also used in image recognition to identify
specific objects like faces (Alpaydin,
2020). Initially, machine learning model
analyzes images with a specific object. If
enough images are given for processing, the
algorithm can determine whether an image
has object(Watt et al, 2020).
Additionally, machine learning can
understand the products a customer might
like. After analyzing the previous products,
the system suggests new product that might
be interesting to the customer (Witten et al,
2016). All such examples have similar
principle. The data is processed by the
system and this data can be identified, and
then this knowledge is used to make future
decisions. The rise in data has been
effective to make such applications more
effective. Machine learning is categorized
into supervised and unsupervised learning
as per the type of input. Input data belongs
to a common class structure in supervised
learning (Mitchell, 2007; Kumar et al,
2012). This input data is called training
data. The algorithm is basically aimed to
create a prediction model for predicting a
property with other properties. After
creating the model, it processes data with
similarclass structure to input data. There is
no known class structure in input data and
algorithm is aimed to reveal the data
structure in unsupervised learning
(Mitchell, 1997; Sugiyama, 2015).
Literature Reviews
Student retention is said to be a major
concern in education. Though intervention
strategies can improve retention rates, prior
knowledge of studentsâ performance for
those programs (Yadav et al., 2012). This
is where it is important to predict student
performance. Using machine learning for
performance prediction or dropout is a
common pattern in academic studies. In
online learning, dropout prediction is a very
common concern in those studies because
of both easy availability of data and high
4. 4
dropout rates (Kalles and Pierrakeas,
2006). Areas out of online learning are
major contexts where performance or
dropout predictions are widely used for
research purposes. Purpose of these studies
varies. Finding the best prediction
approach is important in some studies.
Some studies are aimed to determine the
viability of machine learning to predict
student performance ordropout.
A study was conducted at the âEindhoven
University of Technologyâ to determine
the effectiveness of machine learning to
predict studentsâ dropout rate (Dekker et
al., 2009). Building various prediction
models with various machine learning
approaches like Logit, BayesNet and
CART are the basic methodology here.
Then, they compared prediction outcomes
of various models in terms of effectiveness.
J48 classifier has successfully built the
most efficient model. A group of
researchers from three Indian universities
have conducted a similar study. They
analyzed the dataset of university students
using various algorithms. They compared
the recall value and precision later. They
got most accurate results with the ADT
decision tree algorithm (Yadav et al.,2012).
However, prediction of performance of
students rather than dropouts is more
relevant with this study. There are also
some studies which have predicted
studentsâ performance. In âHellenic Open
Universityâ, a study was done to analyze
the use of ML in distance education by
Kalles & Pierrakeas (2006). They used
decision trees and genetic algorithms to
come up with a predictive model and
compared the results for accuracy. The
âGenetically Evolved Decision Trees
(GATREE)â model has provided most
accurate results.
Amrieh et al (2016) conducted a study on
predicting performance at the âUniversity
of Jordanâ. They used a dataset of students
from various nations. Along with separate
machine learning models, they also used
ensembled techniques and compared the
results. They found best result with
decision trees. Behavioral features were the
other area focused by the researchers. They
created a model by taking these features or
without them. The prediction results were
improved by including these behavioral
features.
Cortez & Silva (2008) conducted a study
on performance prediction at the
âUniversity of Minho, Portugalâ. The
dataset had information on whether exam
has been passed by the students in
Portuguese language and Mathematics.
They used ML models like random forest,
decision trees, support vector machines,
and neural networks and compared them
for accuracy. They also compared a dataset
with previous exam results and the one
which didnât have past grades.
Performance was improved by adding
previous results.
2.1 Research Gap
E-learning has become a common form of
education and a vital part of development
of online education (Giannakos & Vlamos,
2013). E-learning has become a common
phenomenon because of the impact of
COVID-19 across the world because of its
spatial flexibility, high temporal, rich
education materials, and low learning
curve. However, teachers cannot perceive
learning status of the students easily in this
mode (Qu et al., 2019). Hence, it raises
concerns over the quality of online
learning. Hence, this study is based on
education, i.e., by predicting student
performance. It also evaluates
effectiveness of various machine learning
approaches. Recall, precision, F-
5. 5
measure, etc. are some of the most
common indicators to determine the
effectiveness of machine learning models
(Powers, 2020).
2.2 Research Question
ï· What are the effective machine learning
models to predict studentsâ performance
in e-learning?
2.3 Research Objectives
ï· To predict studentâs performance in
online learning with machine learning
ï· To evaluate various machine learning
models for performance prediction
Research Methodology
The study of performance prediction
provides a foundation to teachers for
adjusting their approaches of teaching for
students who may have trouble by
predicting their performance on upcoming
exams. It can help reduce the risk of failure
during the course and improve the quality
of online education. With a lot of empirical
studies investigating the relation between
learning performance and e-learning
behavior, the e-learning behavior plays a
vital role on learning outcome. Research
community has focused a lot on prediction
of learning performance on the basis of
data on learning process in recent years.
Teachers can modify their teaching
strategies over time with the help of
collection, analysis, and measurement of
data on learning process to predict learning
performance and start using early warning
and supervision during the learning
processes.
This study is qualitative in nature as around
70 recent studies have been selected related
to various machine learning techniques to
predict student performance (out of which
90% of the studies were published over the
past two decades). The studies selected for
this paper are published in various journals,
conferences, and book chapters. The
corresponding literature has been extracted
from various online databases like IEEE,
Springer, Science Direct, ACM Digital
Library, iJET, Sage Journals, Wiley Online
Library, Google Scholar, etc.

exam grades, course grades, assignments,
or quizzes in the course. Researchers have
tested regression and classification models
to predict grades. Binary classification has
been used in various studies for prediction
of success and failure of students (Huang et
al, 2020; Liu et al., 2017; Wan et al., 2019;
Lemay & Doleck, 2020; Kokoç et al.,
2021). Various machine learning models
have been examined in mainstream studies
with manually selected features of
statistical learning behavior to predict
grades of students. Xiao et al. (2018) used
âclassification and regression tree
(CART)â model on learning behavior data
and statistical demographic for the
classification of final grades of studentsinto
multiple classes. Additionally, a machine
learning model has been proposed by
VillagrĂĄ- Arnedo et al. (2016) which
used normalized behavior data for
classification of students in 5 categories
of grades. Here, âsupport vector machine
(SVM)â model performed better than other
baseline models.
4.1.3. Predicting Students-at-
risk
Along with predicting performance, it is
also important to identify students who
might be failed in a course. Kondo et al
(2017) identified at-risk and off-task
students using âattendance attributesâ and
âlearning interactionâ of âSPOCs datasetâ.
Cano & Leonard (2019) proposed a
âgenetic programming (GP)â based âearly
warning system to address socioeconomic
disadvantages of students. It extracts
classification rules automatically on the
basis of learning interaction, student
demographic, registration, academic
background, and socioeconomic and family
data.
A transfer-based model has been proposed
by Wan et al. (2019) to identify âat-risk
studentsâ on a class test which is held every
week. They extracted behavioral and
statistical features like % of total accurate
answers and total time invested on video
resources from data and combined the same
with weights which were previously
learned from former courses for prediction
of âstudents-at- riskâ and protecting them
from failing in existing course. A model has
been proposed by âEl Aouifi et al (2021)â
for prediction of final grade on the basis of
interactions of students with pedagogical
sequences of behaviors related to
educational video like jump forward, play,
pause, jump back, and end. They fathered
sequences as features as per educational
sequences. They used MLP and K-NN to
achieve best results.
4.2. Machine Learning
Models for
Performance
Prediction
A huge range of deep learning and machine
learning techniques have been used by
researchers forprediction of outcomes of e-
learning from the data of studentsâ online
interaction. In this field, the machine
learning models are categorized into linear
models like âlogistic regressionâ,
probabilistic (NaĂŻve Bayes), tree-based
models like âdecision tree (DT)â, ensemble
model like AdaBoost, linear model like
âlogistic regression (LR)â, instance-based
model like âK-nearest neighbor (kNN)â,
and rule-based models like âfuzzy logicâ
approaches. Additionally, some studies
have used heuristic or optimization
methods like K-star model for prediction of
outcomes.
Recent studies have investigated deep
learning-based models like âlong short-
term memory (LSTM)â and âconvolutional
neural networks (CNNs)â to predict e-
learning outcomes. Table 1 lists all the
models based on deep learning and
machine learning used in earlier studies.
Figure 1 illustrates the categories of
predictive models in relevant literature.
Deep learning models are used most
8. 8
commonly in recent studies. It is also worth
considering that âdeep learningâ is the term
which refers to models implementing neural
network with over 3 layers. Hence, studies
developing the âfeed-forward neural
networkâ with over 3 hidden layers are
considered as deep learning.
Category Machine Learning Models
Linear Models âLogistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), linear
discriminant analysis (LDA), generalized linear model (GLM), lasso
linear regression (LLG), boosted logistic regressionâ
âProbabilisticâ âNaive Bayes, Bayes network, Bayesian generalized linear (BGL),
Bayesian belief networksâ
âTree-based modelsâ âDecision tree (DT), random forest (RF), Bayesian additive regression
trees (BART)â
Instance-based âk-nearest neighbors (kNN)â
Rule-Based âRule-based classifier (JRip), fuzzy set rulesâ
Neural network âMultilayer perceptron(MLP) or artificial neural network (ANN)â
Deep neural network âRecurrent neural network (RNN), gated recurrent unit (GRU), long
short-term memory (LSTM), convolutional neural network (CNN),
squeeze-and-excitation networks (SE-net)â

Recommendation systems gather data on user choices for a range of elements like
9. 9
websites, books, applications, travel
destinations, e-learning, etc. In context of
performance of students, it is possible to
acquire explicit information or implicit
information by gathering scores and
monitoring their behavior like materials
downloaded and visiting study materials
(Bobadilla et al, 2013). Recommender
systems consider various data sources for
predictions. They manage factors like
novelty, precision, stability, and dispersion.
4.2.1. Collaborative Filtering
It plays a vital role in prediction, even
though it is used with other filtering
methods like knowledge-based, content-
based, or social approaches (Bobadilla et
al, 2013). Just like decisions are based as
per previous knowledge and experiences,
collaborative filtering is used to perform
prediction. Some studies have predicted
various issues regarding performance of
students with collaborative filtering.
Hence, BydĆŸovskĂĄ (2015) found
similarities between students where their
knowledge was represented as a range of
grades from earlier courses.
4.2.2. âArtificial Neural Networks (ANN)â
ANN includes a range of entities which are
highly connected internally like
âProcessing Elementsâ. The function and
structure of the network is inspired by
human brain. Each element of processing
is designed to work like its neuron, which
accepts weighted inputs and responds by
giving output (Adewale et al., 2018). ANN
is applied in various prediction models,
usually by taking in evaluation outcomes of
students. The scores of tests were predicted
with a feedforward ANN by taking in
partial scores (Gedeon & Turner, 1993).
The academic performance is predicted by
the ANN which uses âCumulative Grade
Point Averageâ in 8th
semester (Arsad &
Buniyamin, 2013). Researchers compared
two ANN models, i.e., âGeneralized
Regression Neural Networkâ and
âMultilayer Perceptronâ to identify the best
prediction model for academic
performance (Iyanda et al., 2018). Finally,
ANNâs potential for prediction of learning
outcomes is compared to âmultivariate LR
modelâ in medical education
(Dharmasaroja & Kingkaew, 2016).
Results
Application of techniques like
collaborative filtering, machine learning,
artificial neural network and recommender
systems can consider different types of
information for studentsâ behavioral
prediction, for example, tasksâ grades and
demographic characteristics. A study by
the âHellenic Open Universityâ is a good
point to start, where researchers applied
various supervised and
10. 10
machine learning models to a specific
dataset. In this study, it is observed that
âNaĂŻve Bayesâ model was the best
algorithm to predict both probability and
performance of dropout of students
(Kotsiantis et al., 2004).
Machine learning consists of techniques
which enables computers to learn without
human intervention (Navamani &
Kannammal, 2015). Machine learning has
helped in different applications like stock
market analysis, medical diagnostics,
classification of DNA sequence, robotics,
games, and predictive analysis. Rastrollo-
Guerrero et al. (2020) focused on
predictive analysis where they implemented
complex models for prediction. These
approaches can be helpful to promote
decision-making with relevant data.
Supervised learning promotes models to
reason from cases which are supplied
externally to generate hypothesis which
can make predictions on future events
(Kotsiantis, 2007).
All in all, supervised learning is mainly
aimed to come up with a clear distribution
model of class labels in predictor features.
Rule indication is an excellent supervised
learning approach to make predictions
which can reach 94% accuracy level when
it comes to predict new student dropouts in
nursing (Moseley & Mead, 2008). It is
important to maintain caution with
classification techniques and look for any
unbalanced datasets as they can mislead
when it comes to prediction. This way,
Nandeshwar et al. (2011) proposed various
improvements for prediction of student
dropout like exploring a huge range of
methods, attributes, and evaluating theory
effectiveness and studying factors among
non-dropout and dropout students.
Collaborative filtering approaches play a
vital role in recommendation, even though
they usually go hand in hand with other
techniques like social, content-based and
knowledge based (Bobadilla et al., 2013).
Just like decisions made by humans are
based on their knowledge and past
experience, collaborative filtering acts just
like the same for predictions. Some studies
predicted various issues regarding the
performance of students with collaborative
filtering. Majority of studies discussed in
this article use large data metrices for
performance prediction of students. Hence,
collaborative filtering was not that accurate
in prediction when used in small sample
sizes for the same purpose (Pero &
HorvĂĄth, 2015).
Conclusion
On the basis of data collected here,
supervised learning is the most common
technique for student behavioral prediction
as it provides reliable and accurate results.
The SVM model was used most widely by
the authors and has given most accurate
results. Along with SVM, decision tree,
naĂŻve bayes, and random forests are widely
used for good results. Collaborative
filtering algorithms and recommender
systems are widely used in this arena. It is
worth noting that recommending activities
and resources are more successful than
prediction of student behavior. Neural
networks are not used widely but they
achieved great accuracy when it comes to
predict performance of students. This study
can help researchers and give them a lot of
possibilities to apply machine learning for
prediction of performance in e-learning and
other platforms.
