Potential Future Directions in Optimization of Students’ Performance Prediction System

Abstract

Previous studies widely report the optimization of performance predictions to highlight at-risk students and advance the achievement of excellent students. They also have contributions that overlap different fields of research. On the one hand, they have insightful psychological studies, data mining discoveries, and data analysis findings. On the other hand, they produce a variety of performance prediction approaches to assess students’ performance during cognitive tasks. However, the synchronization between these studies is still a black box that increases prediction systems’ dependency on real-world datasets. It also delays the mathematical modeling of students’ emotional attributes. This review paper performs an insightful analysis and thorough literature-based survey to draw a comprehensive picture of potential challenges and prior contributions. The review consists of 1497 publications from 1990 to 2022 (32 years), which reported various opportunities for future performance prediction researchers. First, it evaluates psychological studies, data analysis results, and data mining findings to provide a general picture of the statistical association among students’ performance and various influential factors. Second, it critically evaluates new students’ performance prediction techniques, modifications in existing techniques, and comprehensive studies based on the comparative analysis. Lastly, future directions and potential pilot projects based on the assumption-based dataset are highlighted to optimize the existing performance prediction systems.

A Method for Predicting the Academic Performances of College Students Based on Education System Data

“…The selected predictors of student achievements include interactive information (such as student-platform interactions, student collaborations, and teacher-student communications), population data (such as age and gender), psychological emotions (such as motivation, and attitude), etc. [22]. The prediction techniques for student achievements include classification, regression, clustering, association rule mining, exploratory analysis, etc.…”

Prever e melhorar o desempenho dos alunos com o uso combinado de aprendizagem de máquina e GPT

“…Estudos estão focando em ferramentas eficazes para integrar e processar esses dados. Ahmad et al (2022) constataram que a sincronização de dados internos das escolas é insuficiente, gerando dependência de sistemas de previsão externos. Algoritmos de AM são cada vez mais usados para predizer o desempenho acadêmico, aproveitando a grande quantidade de dados disponíveis.…”

Research and Application of a User Academic Profile Analysis Platform Based on AHP-EW

“…For educators, this platform can diagnose variations in students' overall qualities to ful ll the necessities of personalized instruction, re ne instructional design, and truly accomplish studentcentered learning, thereby advancing individualized teaching. For guardians, this platform offers a comprehensive understanding of their children's academic situation and institution, aiding in the development of sound educational principles 13 . Next, this article will use the ninth-grade Chinese language exam results from a particular school to clarify the implementation techniques and related designs of the platform.…”
