AI Breakthroughs in Predicting Student Dropout Risk
In the evolving landscape of educational technology, predicting when students might drop out has become a critical frontier. A groundbreaking study published in Scientific Reports showcases how machine learning techniques can identify at-risk students before they fall through the cracks of our educational systems. The research team, led by Markson Rebelo Marcolino, has developed a sophisticated predictive model using the CatBoost algorithm trained on student interaction data from the Moodle learning management system. Their approach addresses one of the most persistent challenges in education: identifying struggling students early enough to make a difference. Risk - The Scale of the Challenge…
