Abstract

The ability to predict students’ academic performance before the start of the class with credible accuracy could significantly aid the preparation of effective teaching and learning strategies. Several studies have been conducted to enhance the performance of prediction models by emphasizing three key factors: developing effective prediction algorithms, identifying significant predictor variables, and developing preprocessing techniques. Importantly, none of these studies focused on the effect of using different types of training data on the performance of prediction models. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of differences in training data on the performance of a prediction model designed to monitor students’ academic progress. The findings showed that the performance of the prediction model was strongly influenced by the heterogeneity of the values of the predictor variables, which should accommodate all the existing possibilities. It was also discovered that the application of training data with different characteristics and sizes did not improve the performance of the prediction model when its heterogeneity was not representative
