Educational Data Mining: Prediction of Students’ Performance to Their Improvement: Using Data Mining to Enhance Graduate Students' Performance in Education

Abstract

Educational data miningconcerns with developing methods for discovering knowledge from data that comefrom educational domain In this paper we used educational data mining toimprove graduate students’ performance, and overcome the problem of low gradesof graduate students. After preprocessing the data, we applied data miningtechniques to discover association, classification, and clustering and outlierdetection rules. In each of these four tasks, we present the extractedknowledge and describe its importance in educational domain.
