“…An important task for teachers is to find out a way, how to raise students' interest in science subjects. The methods which raise students' interest in science and help gaining understanding about the nature of the science are experiment demonstrations and laboratory works (Cedere et al, 2016) and group works and discussions (Porozovs et al, 2015), and teachers are advised to use these methods during lessons.…”

Students' interest in science subjects is insufficient in different countries. One of the main reasons of decreased students' interest in science subjects is that often science subjects in schools are taught in a traditional way, separated from real life, and it is difficult for students to relate their knowledge to their personal interests. The aim of the study was to clear out Latvia students' interest in different science subjects and science subject topics. The electronic survey of Latvia students from different specialities was carried out. 12 th-grade secondary school students from two Riga schools, University of Latvia 1st course pedagogical specialities students, University of Latvia Riga Medical College 1 st course doctors' assistant program students and Latvian Academy of Music 1 st-course students were surveyed. Altogether 235 students were questioned. The results of the research showed that the interest of Latvia students from different specialities in physics and chemistry is rather low: many students have average interest in topics of these subjects. The lowest interest in physics and chemistry from surveyed student groups have Latvian Academy of Music students. The most interesting physics topic for all student groups is the structure of the Universe. From chemistry subject topics secondary school students are more interested in types of chemical reactions and electrolytic dissociation theory and carbohydrates, fats and oils. The majority of the University of Latvia pedagogical specialities students are not interested in different topics of chemistry. Most of all Latvia students are interested in biology. University of Latvia Riga Medical College doctors' assistant program students are most of all interested in biology from surveyed student groups. The most interesting topics of biology for all student groups are genetics and gene engineering, the human organism, human health, origin and evolution of life and ecology. The majority of students have average interest in such topics as construction and diversity of plants. An important task of teachers is to find out a way, how to raise students' interest in science subjects. Teachers should use a student-centred approach and interactive methods for teaching science subjects in order to achieve the personal interest of students in acquiring science subjects.

“…Literature [5] believed that with the help of wireless smart devices, learners' participation in classroom learning can be improved. Literature [6] believed that the teaching terminal based on the smart classroom can clarify the geographical location and learning progress of the students, determine the current teaching activities of students, recommend learning resources according to the needs of students, and support effective real-time collaboration and resource sharing between teachers and students, as well as students and students. Literature [7] believed that a smart classroom is a new type of classroom, and the fundamental goal is to cultivate students' wisdom.…”

The traditional teaching model cannot adapt to the teaching needs of the era of smart teaching. Based on this, this paper combines data mining technology to carry out teaching reforms, constructs a computer-aided system based on data mining, and constructs teaching system functions based on actual conditions. The constructed system can carry out multisubject teaching. Moreover, this paper uses a data mining system to mine teaching resources and uses spectral clustering methods to integrate multiple teaching resources to improve the practicability of data mining algorithms. In addition, this paper combines digital technology to deal with teaching resources. Finally, after building the system, this paper designs experiments to verify the performance of the system. From the research results, it can be seen that the system constructed in this paper has certain teaching and practical effects, and it can be applied to a larger teaching scope in subsequent research.

“…One reason is that the decision maker may not need (or even be unable) to make a decision until some uncertainties are resolved. Another reason may be that the available selection set depends on the result of uncertainty [18]. In any case, the dynamic selection situation will include at least some choices and the decisionmaker can (or must) postpone it until the natural state has made some actions.…”

The existing teaching evaluation system partially reflects the teaching effect and other related conditions through statistical reports, but it is difficult to find the useful knowledge hidden in the database, and it cannot effectively assist the decision-making support. In order to improve the evaluation effect of college classroom teaching mode, this paper mainly uses decision tree algorithm and data mining technology of association rules to construct the effectiveness evaluation system of college classroom teaching mode based on decision tree analysis. Moreover, this paper analyzes the teaching information and evaluation data to extract the potentially useful knowledge contained in it, which can help decision-makers find the rules and explore various factors that affect the teaching effect of teachers, thereby improving teaching management and optimizing resource allocation. In addition, this paper uses experimental teaching methods to verify the performance of the system model constructed in this paper. The research results show that the system constructed in this paper has certain reliability and practicability.
