Systematic Literature Review on Machine Learning and Student Performance Prediction: Critical Gaps and Possible Remedies

Improving the quality, developing and implementing systems that can provide advantages to students, and predicting students’ success during the term, at the end of the term, or in the future are some of the primary aims of education. Due to its unique ability to create relationships and obtain accur...
