A Review of Data Mining in Personalized Education: Current Trends and Future Prospects
It addresses the problem of optimizing personalized learning for students, educators, and institutions by summarizing current trends and prospects, but it is incremental as a review paper.
This paper reviews data mining applications in personalized education, focusing on four scenarios like educational recommendation and knowledge tracing, and provides a taxonomy, datasets, and future directions to enhance learning effectiveness.
Personalized education, tailored to individual student needs, leverages educational technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in the digital age to enhance learning effectiveness. The integration of AI in educational platforms provides insights into academic performance, learning preferences, and behaviors, optimizing the personal learning process. Driven by data mining techniques, it not only benefits students but also provides educators and institutions with tools to craft customized learning experiences. To offer a comprehensive review of recent advancements in personalized educational data mining, this paper focuses on four primary scenarios: educational recommendation, cognitive diagnosis, knowledge tracing, and learning analysis. This paper presents a structured taxonomy for each area, compiles commonly used datasets, and identifies future research directions, emphasizing the role of data mining in enhancing personalized education and paving the way for future exploration and innovation.
