Type: article
Abstract: The application of machine learning techniques in predicting students’ performance, based on their background and their in-term performance has proved to be a helpful tool for foreseeing poor and good performances in various levels of education. The major problem institutions face is the systematic monitoring of students’ academic progress in their course of study, which is influence by many factors. This research work assesses the potential of predicting student academic performance with an expert system in the Federal Polytechnic Bida. The expert system is develop using python programming language and it accepts data about a student in various category such as demographic background, attitudes study habits, etc. and through the partial activation of multiple rules, predicts an outcome for each student. The students’ data was collected via a user-friendly interface and analysed using fuzzy logic algorithm for prediction. The prediction analysis for students’ can only be viewed by the administrator (instructor) as it requires logins for forecasting students’ possible outcomes.
