Research on learning achievement classification based on machine learning

Academic achievement is an important index to measure the quality of education and students' learning outcomes. Reasonable and accurate prediction of academic achievement can help improve teachers' educational methods. And it also provides corresponding data support for the formulation of education policies. However, traditional methods for classifying academic performance have many problems, such as low accuracy, limited ability to handle nonlinear relationships, and poor handling of data sparsity. Based on this, our study analyzes various characteristics of students, including personal information, academic performance, attendance rate, family background, extracurricular activities and etc. Our work offers a comprehensive view to understand the various factors affecting students' academic performance. In order to improve the accuracy and robustness of student performance classification, we adopted Gaussian Distribution based Data Augmentation technique (GDO), combined with multiple Deep Learning (DL) and Machine Learning (ML) models. We explored the application of different Machine Learning and Deep Learning models in classifying student grades. And different feature combinations and data augmentation techniques were used to evaluate the performance of multiple models in classification tasks. In addition, we also checked the synthetic data's effectiveness with variance homogeneity and P-values, and studied how the oversampling rate affects actual classification results. Research has shown that the RBFN model based on educational habit features performs the best after using GDO data augmentation. The accuracy rate is 94.12%, and the F1 score is 94.46%. These results provide valuable references for the classification of student grades and the development of intervention strategies. New methods and perspectives in the field of educational data analysis are proposed in our study. At the same time, it has also promoted innovation and development in the intelligence of the education system.

Abstract

Academic achievement is an important index to measure the quality of education and students' learning outcomes. Reasonable and accurate prediction of academic achievement can help improve teachers' educational methods. And it also provides corresponding data support for the formulation of education policies. However, traditional methods for classifying academic performance have many problems, such as low accuracy, limited ability to handle nonlinear relationships, and poor handling of data sparsity. Based on this, our study analyzes various characteristics of students, including personal information, academic performance, attendance rate, family background, extracurricular activities and etc. Our work offers a comprehensive view to understand the various factors affecting students' academic performance. In order to improve the accuracy and robustness of student performance classification, we adopted Gaussian Distribution based Data Augmentation technique (GDO), combined with multiple Deep Learning (DL) and Machine Learning (ML) models. We explored the application of different Machine Learning and Deep Learning models in classifying student grades. And different feature combinations and data augmentation techniques were used to evaluate the performance of multiple models in classification tasks. In addition, we also checked the synthetic data's effectiveness with variance homogeneity and P-values, and studied how the oversampling rate affects actual classification results. Research has shown that the RBFN model based on educational habit features performs the best after using GDO data augmentation. The accuracy rate is 94.12%, and the F1 score is 94.46%. These results provide valuable references for the classification of student grades and the development of intervention strategies. New methods and perspectives in the field of educational data analysis are proposed in our study. At the same time, it has also promoted innovation and development in the intelligence of the education system.
