Fuzzy Association Rule Mining based Model to Predict Students’ Performance

Abstract

The major intention of higher education institutions is to supply quality education to its students. One approach to get maximum level of quality in higher education system is by discovering knowledge for prediction regarding the internal assessment and end semester examination. The projected work intends to approach this objective by taking the advantage of fuzzy inference technique to classify student scores data according to the level of their performance. In this paper, student's performance is evaluated using fuzzy association rule mining that describes Prediction of performance of the students at the end of the semester, on the basis of previous database like Attendance, Midsem Marks, Previous semester marks and Previous Academic Records were collected from the student's previous database, to identify those students which needed individual attention to decrease fail ration and taking suitable action for the next semester examination.

Assessment-driven Learning through Serious Games: Guidance and Effective Outcomes

“…Data analysis is then used to determine if the systems in place effectively operate efficiently and achieve the learning outcomes goals. [38]. It's the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing the results as valuable information.…”

Association pattern of students thesis examination using fp-growth algorithms

“…Educational data mining is an interesting topic to discuss. The main goal of implementing data mining in the educational area is to use experience and new insight to improve the quality of education [10] and manage new courses properly [11]. Data mining also can use to prevent educational risk and educational opportunities i.e., student drop-out [12]- [16], duration of study [17], [18], learning behaviors [19]- [21], students outcome [22], [23] and student performance [10], [24]- [26].…”

Building student’s performance decision tree classifier using boosting algorithm

“…While Cortez and Silva [12] also used SVM which accuracy was not much different than NN did. The Fuzzy based method such as Neuro-Fuzzy (ANFIS) [13] and Fuzzy Association Rule Mining [14] also employed by to predict student"s performance. Random Forest (RF) were employed by [11], [12] had promising results on the prediction student"s performance.…”
