Abstract

More than just numbers, data tools now help un-cover how students move through universities. From 2021 to 2024, patterns in who enrolls where at the University of Tetova were mapped using code, not guesswork. Python cleaned the records first; then came visual scans, grouping similar cases, and mapping choices like branches on a tree. Medical Sciences stands out, drawing more interest year after year than other faculties. Instead of relying on assumptions, predictions grow from what past behavior suggests might happen next. These models do not replace judgment; they sharpen it with evidence most overlook. What began in technology labs now finds purpose inside academic halls, shifting how leaders respond to change. Not limited to stores or factories, smart number crunching proves useful wherever decisions matter. Behind every trend line is a story about people, shaped quietly by mathematics working behind the scenes.

Machine Learning for Predicting Student Academic Performance: A Case Study at a Public University

Predicting how well a student will perform before, rather than after, a semester goes wrong is one of the more practical promises that machine learning has brought to higher education. This study reports a case study conducted at a public university, in which academic records, attendance logs, and a small set of socio-...

Comparative Evaluation of Machine Learning Models for Early Prediction of Student Academic Performance Using the Open University Learning Analytics Dataset

This study develops and comparatively evaluates four supervised machine learning models for multi-class prediction of final student outcome on the Open University Learning Analytics Dataset (OULAD), demonstrating that aggregate accuracy substantially overstates the usefulness of these models for risk detection and that...

Explainable Temporal Machine Learning for Academic Risk Prediction and Student Intervention

Predicting which students are likely to struggle is a well-studied problem in higher-education analytics, but what an institution should do with such predictions is less settled. This paper proposes a framework that treats academic risk as something that shifts over a semester rather than a label assigned once, and tha...

EasyClassifier: Honest, Reproducible Machine-Learning Classification for Researchers Who Do Not Program

Machine-learning classification is now used across medicine, the social sciences, economics, education and engineering, very often by researchers who do not program. Two errors recur in such work: preprocessing learned on all rows before cross-validation (data leakage), and reporting the cross-validation score of the c...

Early Academic Performance Prediction in Secondary Education: Are Simple Machine Learning Models Enough?

It is shown that simple, transparent models operating on routinely collected gradebook data deliver actionable early-warning signals within the digital competence of most practising teachers; group-level prediction additionally protects student identity by ensuring no individual is labelled at-risk, combining predictiv...
