Machine Learning Algorithm to Predict Student’s Performance: A Systematic Literature Review

One of the ultimate goals of the learning process is the success of student learning. Using data and students' achievement with machine learning to predict the success of student learning will be a crucial contribution to everyone involved in determining appropriate strategies to help students perform. The selected 11 research articles were chosen using the inclusion criteria from 2753 articles from the IEEE Access and Science Direct database that was dated within 2019-2021 and 285 articles that were research articles. This study found that the classification machine learning algorithm was most often used in predicting the success of students' learning. Four algorithms that were used most often to predict the success of students' learning are ANN, Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, SVM and Decision Tree. Meanwhile, the data used in these research articles predominantly classified students' success in learning into two or three categories which are pass/fail; or fail/pass/excellent.
