Abstract


The main aim of this study is to provide universities with a way of examining and predicting student performance. The fundamental aim and purpose of this study is to help academic institutions to analyse and predict student performance. The credibility and accuracy of the model was examined by comparing the predicted results of the model with the observed values. And educational data mining techniques were used to create student profiles. Weighted gain, classification analysis, decision tree and rule induction were used in this study. The results of the study showed that the level of students' academic performance varied according to criteria such as academic structure, faculty, mode of enrolment and gender. In order to determine the relative importance of variables, the information weight gain technique was used after generating rule induction parameters and hidden rules between data. Using data mining techniques, we can obtain both guidelines to instruct students and information to help us identify them.
