A study of factors affecting learning efficiency on higher education student performance evaluation dataset using feature selection techniques
Abstract:
This research aimed to discover the features affecting the learning efficiency on the higher education student performance evaluation dataset. The data were gathered from the student in the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Education, Academic year 2019, to forecast the final learning performance of the students. Data consisted of 33 attributes and 145 records from UCI Machine Learning Dataset. Four feature selection techniques, which were Information Gain, Gain Ratio, Correlation Coefficient, and Chi-Square, were applied, along with four data classification methods: K-Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest, Artificial Neural Network, and Linear Regression. Findings demonstrated that the best feature selection techniques were Information Gain and Gain Ratio. When analyzing the relationship of feature data using Pearsons correlation, the feature that had a positive relationship with the data class could be adapted. Further, when considering five features: CUML_GPA, EXP_GPA, READ_FREQ, COURSE ID, and KIDS: meaning when the student had a high cumulative grade point average of the last semester, high academic achievement expectation score, frequency of reading non-scientific books, and divorced or dead parents, they had satisfying learning achievement. Additionally, the attributes, which were STUDY_HRS, AGE, SALARY, IMPACT, had a negative relationship with the data class. It meant the low weekly study hour, young age, low income, and positive impact of the project or activity on the success led to satisfying learning achievement. Thus, it could be concluded that the factors affecting learning efficiency were the accumulated grade point average, achievement expectation score, frequency of reading non-scientific books, and low weekly study hours. All features could be the guideline for designing the learning management for the learners highest learning efficiency."""
