Abstract

Profile modeling is an important process that aims to give as complete representation as possible of all the aspects related to the user features. I n the educational field, student profile modeling can give important solutions to variant problems. It can mainly offer the most exact description of student s in order to: be able to act in case of problems such as failure, drop out…; offer students the most appropriate orientation and recommendation; define the most adaptive learning resources depending on their profiles… In this paper, we present an analytical and statistical study on student profile modeling to propose a generic student profile model based on different. Our purpose is to build a student profile model based on many important features that can be used alone or combined for decision making in different fields of the educational domain.
