Student Modeling Using Educational Data Mining Techniques

Educational Data Mining (EDM) is a research area which applies machine learning, data mining and statistical techniques to different types of data that come from educational settings. Student modeling is one of EDM applications that used to recommend or adapt the educational system resources. This paper explores the different educational systems and their characteristics. In addition, modeling of the student learning style, affective state, and prediction of the student performance are addressed. Profiling, grouping students and collaboration analysis are also explored.
