Utilization of Predictive Models in Education and Learning

Abstract

In recent years, learning analytics, educational data mining, and institutional research have been developed as research areas on data utilization in education and learning. In particular, knowledge of many studies on utilization of predictive models by machine learning is accumulating. In this paper, the various fields of data utilization in education and learning are first reviewed, and then the trends in research on the use of predictive models in these fields and our research so far are introduced. Finally, future issues in this field are summarized.
