Application of C4.5 Decision Tree Algorithm for Evaluating the College Music Education

Abstract

Music courses in colleges and universities have undergone significant changes as the new curriculum reform has proceeded. As a result, student evaluations in the classroom are changing, and a diversified evaluation paradigm is gradually developing. Numerous new and more effective teaching concepts and teaching methods have been developed for revitalizing the state with science and education. This interrupts the standard instructional activities’ backward teaching pattern. Online teaching has become more significant in the area of education as technology, science, and Internet technologies have advanced. Music instructors at universities and colleges are continually updating their teaching methods and utilize several techniques to provide in-depth instruction in the classrooms. To expand students’ enthusiasm and involvement while also developing their musical creative talents, a web-based information educational administrations management system has been widely used in many universities and colleges. This study utilizes the C4.5 algorithm to create a decision tree model for establishing an evaluation system of classroom teaching to enhance the quality. The proposed algorithm evaluates the model’s accuracy and practicability using performance information from 125 teachers’ music classroom teaching. Finally, it identifies the decision-making attributes that affect the teachers’ evaluation. The quality of classroom teaching is evaluated, and some useful suggestions are provided based on the experimental results, which can support college and university decision-making by motivating teachers to improve their classroom teaching quality.
