Abstract

Recently, the teaching-learning paradigm is focusing on learners. The individual’s right to select curriculum is gaining ground. As this selection right increases, there is increasing concern and more time needs to be invested in selecting the curriculum suitable for an individual’s situation and preferences. Therefore, an individualized service that can recommend a desirable curriculum to individuals is needed to minimize individuals’ efforts and help them make the right choices. This paper proposes a curriculum recommender system through which individual learners can get advice when they enroll. This research provides the foundation of learner-oriented education by providing a personalized curriculum from the beginning of a course of study.
