Application of Random Forest Classification Method to Predict Student Compatibility in Choosing Preferred Majors
摘要
This research aims to develop a website that can predict students’ suitability for their desired majors using a Random Forest classification model. The website, named EduSage, addresses the issue of students feeling uncertain about the majors they wish to pursue during their university education. Some students who have gone through college regret it after choosing a major that is not suitable for them. The data used to develop the prediction model were obtained through surveys conducted among individuals who are currently enrolled in or have completed their university education. Apart from data obtained through surveys, some data was obtained through observation of articles, research, and journals. The primary feature of this application is to provide users with recommendations for suitable majors. Another feature that EduSage has is the ability to provide good university recommendations to the user. The evaluation conducted at the end of the study indicates that EduSage successfully assists users in determining suitable university majors. Not only that, the accuracy of the website is also quite accurate.
