摘要：Educational Data Mining (EDM) research have emerged as an interesting area of research, which are extracting useful
knowledge from educational databases for purposes such as predicting student’s success. The extracted knowledge helps the institutions to
improve their teaching methods and learning process. In this paper, we applied Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes and Neural Network
classification methods for predicting the student’s performance based on the grade level. This aim to resolve the problem of difficulty in
predicting the performance of student’s in institutions. The objectives of this paper are to (i) implement three classification methods
independently on the student’s performance dataset, and (ii) determine the best method among the three classification methods. The results
shows that the Decision Tree produces the highest accuracy rate of 77.778%, followed by the Neural Network with accuracy rate of
70.886% and the Naïve Bayes produces the lowest at accuracy rate 66.865%. The result recommendsthat Decision Tree is used in predicting
student’s performance rather than Naïve Bayes and Neural Network.
