| description | Due to the huge amount of data obtained from students’ academic results in most tertiary institutions such as the colleges, polytechnics and universities, data mining has become one of the most effective tools for discovering vital knowledge from students’ dataset. The discovered knowledge can be productive in understanding numerous challenges in the scope of education and providing possible solutions to these challenges. The main objective of this research is to utilize the J48 decision algorithm model to test, classify and predict the students’ dataset by identifying some important attributes and instances. The analysis was conducted on the final year students’ academic results in C# programming amongst five universities which was imported in csv excel file dataset in WEKA environment. These training datasets contained the scores obtained in the examinations, grade remarks, grades, gender, and department. The knowledge extracted for the prediction model will help both the tutors and students to determine the success grade performance in the future. Flow lines, J48 decision trees, confusion matrices and a program flowchart were generated from the students’ dataset. The KAPPA value obtained from the prediction in this research ranges from 0.9070–0.9582 which perfectly agrees with the standard for an ideal analysis on datasets. |
