A plethora of research has been done in the past focusing on predicting student's performance in order to support their development. Many institutions are focused on improving the performance and the education quality; and this can be…
We use gradient boosting machines and logistic regression to predict academic throughput at a South African university. The results highlight the significant influence of socio-economic factors and field of study as predictors of…
Talent identification plays a critical role in promoting student development. However, traditional approaches often rely on manual processes or focus narrowly on academic achievement, and typically delaying intervention until the higher…
Graduation and dropout rates have always been a serious consideration for educational institutions and students. High dropout rates negatively impact both the lives of individual students and institutions. To address this problem, this…
This paper addresses a key challenge in Educational Data Mining, namely to model student behavioral trajectories in order to provide a means for identifying students most at-risk, with the goal of providing supportive interventions. While…
Understanding which student support strategies mitigate dropout and improve student retention is an important part of modern higher educational research. One of the largest challenges institutions of higher learning currently face is the…
Academic performance prediction aims to leverage student-related information to predict their future academic outcomes, which is beneficial to numerous educational applications, such as personalized teaching and academic early warning. In…
