Sistema de suporte à criação de modelos de classificação para a previsão de evasão no ensino superior

Abstract

Student dropout is one of the greatest challenges faced by university degree institutions. In order to mitigate it, those institutions develop moitoring and analysis tools regarding this phenomenon. One of many existing methodologies to do so is the recognition of student characteristics that leads to dropout, and ond of many existing tools is SABIA: a virtual dashboard responsible for supporting evidence-based management allied to concepts like Learning/Academic Analytics and Business Intelligence. This work expands SABIA through a new page able to create user-customizable supervisioned learning models, offering feature analysis from students and predicting their final status based on those features. Information obtained through those models enables the recognition of risk features on student profiles and assists managers on providin guidelines for applying countermeasures against dropout.
