Advancing Blended Learning Strategies: A Machine Learning Model for Predicting Student Success
摘要
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted many sectors, including education. The confinement of administrative bodies, teachers, and students confronted us with an unavoidable reality: the need for distance learning. Once schools reopened, several countries and institutions began adopting blended learning models, combining both distance and face-to-face modes. This sudden shift revived research in the field of education, specifically what is known as “Educational Data Mining,” a discipline aimed at developing new tools for extracting and utilizing educational data. This paper presents a machine learning model aims to predict student performance in blended learning by understanding the impact of various social, economic, personal, and other factors on student performance, and to identify students at risk of failure.
