Abstract

The chapter delves into the application of Decision Tree techniques to classify large datasets of students, emphasizing the impact of the number of splits on accuracy. It explores the integration of learning analytics in education, focusing on the roles of administrators, instructors, and students. The research compares various machine learning algorithms, including Decision Trees and Ensemble Classifiers, to determine the most effective method for classifying large datasets. The study uses a dataset from Kaggle, comprising 378,005 records, to evaluate the performance of different techniques. The results show that Boosted Tree, an ensemble classifier, achieves the highest accuracy of 99.6%, demonstrating its potential for handling big data problems in education. The chapter concludes by highlighting the need for further improvements in algorithm speed and training time to enhance the practicality of these techniques in educational settings.
