Abstract

The declining interest of high school students in pursuing higher education has become a major concern in Indonesia's education sector. This study aims to develop a data-driven predictive model to assist schools in identifying students’ decisions regarding further education. The study compares two popular classification algorithms, Decision Tree and Gradient Boosted Tree, using a dataset of 300 high school students comprising 10 attributes such as school accreditation, parental income, interest level, and residential status. The research method involves data preprocessing, model training, and performance evaluation using a confusion matrix to measure accuracy, precision, and recall. The results show that the Decision Tree algorithm achieved an accuracy of 76.67%, with a precision of 78.57% and a recall of 73.33% for the "college" class. Meanwhile, the Gradient Boosted Tree produced an accuracy of 73.33%, with a strength in recall for the "not attending college" class at 80%, but was less optimal in detecting students who pursued higher education. It can be concluded that the Decision Tree outperforms in terms of accuracy and interpretability, making it more suitable for use in school environments as a decision-support tool for early intervention, scholarship programs, and career counseling.
