In this paper, the efficacy of machine learning (ML) techniques for predicting the academic success of students is investigated. In issues pertaining to higher education, as well as machine learning, deep learning, and its linkages to educational data, predicting student achievement is essential. The choice of courses and the development of effective future study plans for students can be easier with the help of the capacity to forecast a student's success. In addition to predicting student achievement, it makes it easier for instructors and administrators to keep an eye on children so that they can offer support and integrate trainings for the greatest outcomes. In this study, we define the idea of predicting the student performance in education and its several iterations. We discuss a number of ML approaches, such as the Fuzzy C-Means, the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MPL), the Logistic Regression (LR), and the Random Forest (RF) algorithms, for predicting student achievement in the classroom. The models for forecasting student performance that are now in use and those that have been proposed in this paper are carefully investigated. The paper examines different combinations of the algorithms including FCM – MLP, FCM – LR, and FCM – RF, and provides the detailed results of each combination. These strategies are assessed using quantitative standards including accuracy, detection rate, and false alarm rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
