Abstract

Education With the inclusion and integration of internet and digital learning Education 2. 0 brought tools in the different context of education. The use of social networking concepts such as chat rooms and the ever-growing student data have placed education on the brink of becoming one of the craters and users of Big Data. As such, this paper explores educational data mining techniques alongside some of the emerging learning analytics with the objective of gaining insight into some of the common learning behaviors among students. The task at hand embraces predictive analytics and it employs decision trees, neural networks, and Naïve Bayes algorithms to classify and cluster student learning patterns that can explain academic performance. Predictive analytics has emerged as one of the tools furthering adaptive learning among other lifechanging novelties. Nonetheless, integration of big data in academia is in its infancy although the western hemisphere is making progress towards the integration. Such progress will increase the relevance of data mining in education and this paper envisages to be among the first ones to address the applicability of machine learning in improving education. Hence, the objective of this paper is to develop predictive models based on the decision tree, neural network, and Naïve Bayes algorithms.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In [29], predictive analytics using decision trees, neural networks, and Naïve Bayes was used to gain insights into student learning behaviors, cluster learning patterns, and explain academic performance.

    “The type of ML method being employed here is predictive analytics, which focuses on making predictions about future outcomes based on historical data.The objective of using predictive analytics, as mentioned, is to gain insights into student learning behaviors, cluster student learning patterns, and explain academic performance.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
