Abstract

When developing a prediction paradigm, an ensemble technique such as boosting is used. It is built on a heuristic framework. Generally speaking, engineering ensemble learning is more accurate than individual classifiers when it comes to making predictions. Consequently, numerous ensemble strategies have been presented in this work, particularly to provide a more complete understanding of the essential methods in general. Researchers have experimented with boosting methods to forecast student performance as part of a variety of ensemble techniques. The researchers employed improvement approaches to construct an accurate predictive educational model, which was based on a key phenomena seen in categorization and prediction operations. In light of the uniqueness and originality of the suggested strategy in educational data mining, the researchers used augmentation strategies in order to construct an accurate predictive pedagogical model. Tenfold cross-validation was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the basic classifiers, which included the random tree, the j48, the knn, and the Naive Bayes. The random tree was found to be the most effective classifier. Several additional screening techniques, including oversampling (SMOTE) and undersampling (Spread subsampling), were utilized to analyze any statistically significant variations in results between the meta and base classifiers that had been identified between the meta and base classifiers. The use of ensemble and screening strategies, as compared to the use of standard classifiers, has demonstrated considerable gains in predicting student performance, as has the use of either strategy alone. Furthermore, after the completion of a performance research on each approach, two new prediction models have been established on the basis of the improved results gained thus far.

Abstract

This research explores the impact of questionnaire structure on the accuracy of learning style classification, focusing on the optimization of the Felder-Silverman Learning Style Model (FSLSM) using advanced machine learning techniques. By employing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) for dimensionality reduction, the study identifies and retains the most informative variables from the original 44-question FSLSM instrument. These refined features are then processed through a Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm to evaluate classification performance across various core-to-secondary item ratios. Results indicate that the most optimal configuration—produced through the combined PCA-t-SNE reduction—achieved a peak accuracy of 89.54%, surpassing other configurations and highlighting the effectiveness of selective question modeling. This approach not only enhances prediction accuracy but also introduces a more efficient and streamlined FSLSM formula, reducing redundancy without compromising diagnostic precision. The study contributes to educational data mining by presenting a data-driven strategy for learning style assessment and offers practical implications for the development of adaptive, personalized learning systems grounded in statistically validated models.
