This research provides a review of the state of the art with respect to EDM and discusses the most relevant work in this area to date. Each study has been discussed considering type of data and data mining techniques used, and the kind of the educational task that they resolve. EDM is upcoming research area related to well-established areas of research such as e- learning, tutoring systems, web mining, data mining. Current literature show how fast educational data analysis area is growing and there is an increasing number of contributions that publish in International Journals and Conferences every year. However, educational data mining is still not a mature area. Some interesting future suggestion to develop this area has been presented. This research is a presentation of current and ancient literature of Predicting Student Performance using Data Mining.

Data mining combines machine learning, statistical and visualization techniques to discover and extract knowledge. Student retention is an indicator of academic performance and enrolment management of the university. Poor student retention could reflect badly on the university. Universities are facing the immense and quick growth of the volume of educational data stored in different types of databases and system logs. Moreover, the academic success of students is another major issue for the management in all professional institutes. So the early prediction to improve the student performance through counseling and extra coaching will help the management to take timely action for decrease the percentage of poor performance by the students. Data mining can be used to find relationships and patterns that exist but are hidden among the vast amount of educational data. This survey conducts a literature survey to identify data mining technologies to monitor student, analyze student academic behavior and provide a basis for efficient intervention strategies. The results can be used to develop a decision support system and help the authorities to timely actions on weak students.

In this period of computerization, schooling has additionally remodeled itself and is not restrained to old lecture technique. The everyday quest is on to discover better approaches to make it more successful and productive for students. These days, masses of data are gathered in educational databases, however it stays unutilized. To be able to get required advantages from such major information, effective tools are required. Data mining is a developing capable tool for examination and expectation. It is effectively applied in the field of fraud detection, marketing, promoting, forecast and loan assessment. However, it is in incipient stage in the area of education. In this paper, data mining techniques have been applied to construct a classification model to predict the performance of students.

This article presents the results of connecting an educational data mining techniques to the academic performance of students. Three classification models (Decision Tree, Random Forest and Deep Learning) have been developed to analyze data sets and predict the performance of students. The projected submission of the three classificatory was calculated and matched. The academic history and data of the students from the Office of the Registrar were used to train the models. Our analysis aims to evaluate the results of students using various variables such as the student's grade. Data from (221) students with (9) different attributes were used. The results of this study are very important, provide a better understanding of student success assessments and stress the importance of data mining in education. The main purpose of this study is to show the student successful forecast using data mining techniques to improve academic programs. The results of this research indicate that the Decision Tree classifier overtakes two other classifiers by achieving a total prediction accuracy of 97%.

Using Data

Predicting performance is very significant in the education world nowadays. This paper will describe the process of doing a prediction of student performance by using data mining technique. 257 data sets were taken from the student of semester 6 KPTM that involved four (4) academic programs which are Diploma in Computer System and Networking, Diploma in Information Technology, Diploma in Business Management and Diploma in Accountancy. Knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD) was used as a guide to the process of finding and extracting a knowledge from the dataset. A decision tree and linear regression were used to analyze the dataset based on variables selected. The variables used are Gender, Financing, SPM, GPASem1, GPASem2, GPASem3, GPASem4, GPASem5 and CGPA as a dependent variable. The result from this indicate the significant variable that contribute most to the students’ performance. Based on the analysis, the decision tree shows that GPASem1 has a strong significant to the CGPA final semester of the student and the prediction accuracy is 82%. The linear regression shows that the GPA for each semester has a highly significant with the dependent variable with 96.2% prediction accuracy. By having this information, the management of KPTM can make a plan to ensure that the student can maintain a good result and at the same time to make a strategic plans for those without a good result.
