A Comprehensive Review of Data Mining Usage in Education

Abstract

In this chapter, the data mining method in the field of education will be examined, an emerging technology. In this study, studies conducted since 2011 using data mining method, one of the developing technologies, and the results obtained from these studies will be examined in order to increase the success in the field of education. What kind of data has been used in data mining application in the field of education, which algorithms have been used to analyze these data and the success cases obtained from these algorithms will be examined. By examining the results obtained from these studies, it will be examined which algorithms are more successful in the analysis to be obtained. It is aimed to identify the deficiencies that affect the success in the field of education. This study is aimed to be a guide in determining the work to be done to increase the success in the education sector and in determining the algorithms that can be preferred in order to achieve more successful results in these studies.
