A Hybrid Approach for Early-Identification of At-Risk Dropout Students Using LSTM-DNN Networks
Education and Information Technologies, v29 n14 p18839-18857 2024
Dropout refers to the phenomenon of students leaving school before completing their degree or program of study. Dropout is a major concern for educational institutions, as it affects not only the students themselves but also the institutions' reputation and funding. Dropout can occur for a variety of reasons, including academic, financial, personal, and social factors. Therefore, understanding the factors that contribute to dropout and developing effective strategies to prevent it is a critical challenge for educational institutions. In this study, we propose a hybrid deep learning model based on Long Short-Term Memory and Deep Neural Network algorithms for school dropout prediction. The proposed model was compared with previous works and several other machine learning algorithms, including Deep Neural Network (DNN), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Naive Bayes (NB), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Decision Trees (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF). The results showed that the proposed DNN-LSTM model outperforms the other models in terms of accuracy and efficiency.
