Abstract
According to UNESCO, education is a fundamental human right and every nation’s citizens should be granted universal access with equal quality to it. Because this goal is yet to be achieved in most countries, in particular in the developing and underdeveloped countries, it is extremely important to find more effective ways to improve education. This paper presents a model based on the application of computational intelligence (data mining and data science) that leads to the development of the student’s knowledge profile and that can help educators in their decision making for best orienting their students. This model also tries to establish key performance indicators to monitor objectives’ achievement within individual strategic planning assembled for each student. The model uses random forest for classification and prediction, graph description for data structure visualization and recommendation systems to present relevant information to stakeholders. The results presented were built based on the real dataset obtained from a Brazilian private k-9 (elementary school). The obtained results include correlations among key data, a model to predict student performance and recommendations that were generated for the stakeholders.
Highlights
Considered to be one of the most important needs of every citizen, modern societies classify education, which plays a key role in the development of any country [1], as a fundamental right of people
It is possible to procure other correlations that allow the explanations for these results
As one of the several outcomes of this project, it is important to highlight the large support to stakeholders throughout the decision-making process
Summary
Considered to be one of the most important needs of every citizen, modern societies classify education, which plays a key role in the development of any country [1], as a fundamental right of people. Throughout history, education faced a number of challenges and paradigm shifts. Managers and institutions are concerned with retaining students and making learning interesting, efficient and effective. In turn, are committed to understanding children’s performance and helping them with learning. Teachers and educators want to understand the real situation of the teaching-learning process, with accurate information that might guide and create value through learning.
