Classificação de estudantes através de árvores de decisão via Python e RapidMiner

Abstract

Educational data mining - EDM is a research field concerned with data mining tools for data analisys over educational datasets. The purpose at this work is to use data mining to classify students according to their knowledge level based in their past grades and activities. We use real data to construct decision tree models with purpose of test classification rules for didactic and pedagogical interventions. Considering the created models, relevant information for student's final result predictions and for important points on teaching and learning process development identifications was obtained.
