It is important to develop Student Performance prediction software. It helps educational entities and institutes in understanding the shortcomings of the current educational process and suggests improvements in our current system. It can also be used to take early precautions in order to improve students’ performance in academic endeavors. Another application of such a system can be to select the right student for a particular task.
We also need to figure out the reasons that lead to poor performance of the students. Factors like extracurricular activities, illnesses, financial problems, and family problems have a major effect on students' performance.
We used a dataset, which was collected from two Portuguese schools in the subject of Portuguese. Here we have developed 8 models. We used both the techniques in permutations of: -
- using dataset with grades and without grades
- regression (0-20) and 4-level classification Furthermore, we also reviewed two research papers which predict student performance so as to understand techniques used by researchers in similar settings.
The detailed results and analysis can be found in the report as well as the slides attached.
