This paper presents a systematic literature review of using Machine Learning (ML) techniques in higher education career recommendation. Despite the growing interest in leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) for personalized academic guidance, no previous reviews have synthesized the diverse methodologies in this field. Following the Kitchenham…

Higher education institutions have consistently strived to provide students with top-notch education. To achieve better outcomes, machine learning (ML) algorithms greatly simplify the prediction process. ML can be utilized by academicians to obtain insight into student data and mine data for forecasting the performance. In this paper, the authors…

The higher the level of development of higher education, the larger its contribution to socioeconomic development. In order to predict the trend of higher education development in a country more accurately, a new methodology is employed in this study. A weakening buffer operator-based GM (1, 1) model is constructed using Kazakhstan's gross…

Colleges are increasingly turning to predictive analytics to identify "at-risk" students in order to target additional supports. While recent research demonstrates that the types of prediction models in use are reasonably accurate at identifying students who will eventually succeed or not, there are several other considerations for the…

Whether machine learning algorithms effectively predict college students' course outcomes using learning management system data is unknown. Identifying students who will have a poor outcome can help institutions plan future budgets and allocate resources to create interventions for underachieving students. Therefore, knowing the effectiveness of…

This quantitative study investigates the predictive power of machine learning (ML) models on degree completion among adult learners in higher education, emphasizing the enhancement of data-driven decision-making (DDDM). By analyzing three ML models - Random Forest, Gradient-Boosting machine (GBM), and CART Decision Tree - within a not-for-profit,…

The article is in the second phase of research is about "the big data architecture for pre-teacher preparation supply chain with prescriptive analytics of higher education in Thailand". The objectives of the study were (1) to study the pre-teacher preparation supply chain in Thailand, (2) to develop a model the big data system for the…

The last few years have witnessed an upsurge in the number of studies using Machine and Deep learning models to predict vital academic outcomes based on different kinds and sources of student-related data, with the goal of improving the learning process from all perspectives. This has led to the emergence of predictive modelling as a core practice…

Predicting and improving the academic achievement of university students is a multifactorial problem. Considering the low success rates and high dropout rates, particularly in open education programs characterized by mass enrollment, academic success is an important research area with its causes and consequences. This study aimed to solve a…

Christian higher education has always been a developing enterprise, and leaders predict an unprecedented rate of change in the near future. Such scale of change poses an existential threat to modern Christian higher education efforts, heightening the value of crisis leadership and related competencies. These institutions and the leaders who guide…

Course dropout is a concern in online higher education, mainly in first-year courses when different factors negatively influence the learners' engagement leading to an unsuccessful outcome or even dropping out from the university. The early identification of such potential at-risk learners is the key to intervening and trying to help them before…

Precision education derives teaching and learning opportunities by customizing predictive rules in educational methods. Innovative educational research faces new challenges and affords state-of-the-art methods to trace knowledge between the teaching and learning ecosystem. Individual intelligence can only be captured through knowledge level…

One of the many impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the increasing prevalence and accessibility of online education. This trend has also introduced challenges for students, instructors, and institutions. This study examines factors affecting online course satisfaction, focusing on individual, instructor, and institutional level…

This investigation examines the efficacy of multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (MAIHDA) over fixed-effects models when performing intersectional studies. The research questions are as follows: (1) What are typical strata representation rates and outcomes on physics research-based assessments? (2) To what…

The three research papers completed and compiled to make up this dissertation explore the relationship between social presence and social construction of knowledge in asynchronous online discussion forums in higher education courses in the instructional technology field. Paper 1 is a literature review of the interaction analysis model (IAM)…
