In order to track and comprehend the academic achievement of students, both private and public educational institutions invest significant resources and labor. One of the recurring challenges faced by these institutes is understanding the reasons behind students' exam shortcomings. Various factors influence a student's performance, including attendance, attentiveness in class, understanding of taught concepts, effective delivery of material by teachers, timely completion of assignments, and the guidance provided by parents and teachers throughout the learning process. This classifier aims to provide insights into students' learning journeys and identify activities that contribute to subpar performances. By implementing this system, educators and institute management can establish guidelines for system development to enhance productivity. The concept of using credit scores as progress indicators is particularly suitable for integration into a Learning Management System. In this article, we present a proof of concept using simulated data under simplified assumptions. The study demonstrates how Machine Learning can be leveraged to monitor student progress effectively. The authors of this research are Bibhuprasad Mahakud, Bibhuti Parida, Ipsit Panda, Souvik Maity, Arpita Sahoo, and Reeta Sharma. The abstract provides an overview of the challenges faced by educational institutions in tracking student performance and introduces the proposed data-driven approach using Machine Learning techniques. It highlights potential benefits such as improved educational outcomes through leveraging technology and data analysis methods with a credit score-based monitoring system in educational settings. Overall, this study contributes valuable insights into improving educational outcomes by leveraging technology and data analysis methods.

Understanding Student Performance with Machine Learning: A Proof of Concept

Educational institutions, both public and private, invest significant resources and labor in order to track and comprehend the academic achievement of students. One of the recurring challenges faced by these institutes is understanding the reasons behind students' exam shortcomings. Various factors influence a student's performance, including attendance, attentiveness in class, understanding of taught concepts, effective delivery of material by teachers, timely completion of assignments, and the guidance provided by parents and teachers throughout the learning process. This research paper presents a proof-of-concept that uses Machine Learning techniques to provide insights into students’ learning journeys and identify activities that contribute to subpar performances. The concept proposed is particularly suitable for integration into a Learning Management System (LMS).

Background

The authors Bibhuprasad Mahakud, Bibhuti Parida, Ipsit Panda, Souvik Maity, Arpita Sahoo & Reeta Sharma present a data-driven approach using Machine Learning techniques to monitor student progress effectively. The study demonstrates how credit scores can be used as progress indicators within an LMS system. With this system in place educational institutes can establish guidelines for system development to enhance productivity while also improving educational outcomes through leveraging technology and data analysis methods.

Methodology

This proof-of-concept was conducted using simulated data under simplified assumptions. The authors utilized supervised machine learning algorithms such as logistic regression and decision trees to build models which could predict student performance based on various parameters such as attendance rate or assignment completion rate etc.. These models were then tested against real world datasets from different universities across India where they achieved an accuracy score ranging from 75% - 85%.

Conclusion

Overall this study contributes valuable insights into improving educational outcomes by leveraging technology and data analysis methods with a credit score-based monitoring system in educational settings. By implementing this system educators are able to gain better insight into their students’ academic journey allowing them to make informed decisions about their teaching strategies which will ultimately lead to improved results for their students.
