ISEA 2020 Summit - A case study to predict student success or failure

October 22, 2020
Presentation: "Statistical Engineering and Machine Learning: A Case Study to Predict Student Success or Failure"

Speakers: Leo C.E. Huberts and Ronald J.M.M. Does (Department of Operations Management, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands)

A quote from a high school principal: “Early Warning Indicator Reports were invaluable to the success of our School”. These reports monitor students throughout their school career and warn teachers and staff of students with high dropout risks. Also, monitoring allows for the identification of students who are insufficiently challenged and will benefit from more stimulating classroom material. Several approaches for monitoring student progress are evaluated to answer three research questions related to this problem:
(1) What determines student performance?
(2) How can statistics and machine learning tools be used in monitoring student progress?
(3) Which methods can be used for predictive monitoring of student results?
The authors will share how they worked together with a Dutch high school and combined hierarchical Bayesian modeling with statistical and predictive monitoring procedures. And, how machine learning tools (recurrent neural networks) were applied . The final results give a clear blueprint for student progress monitoring as documented in this report.
