Abstract

Education is the basic requirement for living a good life with valuable prestige and self-assurance. Several approaches for educational learning are being adapted by various institutions to enhance the learning quality. The schools, training institutes and colleges follow similar criteria to evaluate students’ knowledge by conducting exams and tests after completion of course work. To estimate the quality of learning and teaching, educational evaluation is vital. In this paper authors considered a dataset on knowledge status of several students which includes educational objectives and educational features as the duration and time interval devoted to study, the total repetitive number of study sessions conducted, the difficulty level, and the type of questions being asked. The dataset is used for analysis of its features to understand the relationship between different instances to compute the knowledge status of different students and to use machine learning algorithms for analysis and classification of dataset.
