A Feature Learning-Based Model for Analyzing Students’ Performance in Supportive Learning

Supportive learning plays a substantial role in providing a quality edu-cation system.The evaluation of students’performance impacts their deeper insight into the subject knowledge.Specifically,it is essential to maintain the baseline foundation for building a broader understanding of their careers.This research concentrates on establishing the students’knowledge relationship even in reduced samples.Here,Synthetic Minority Oversampling TEchnique(SMOTE)technique is used for pre-processing the missing value in the provided input dataset to enhance the prediction accuracy.When the initial processing is not done substantially,it leads to misleading prediction accuracy.This research concentrates on modelling an efficient classifier model to predict students’perfor-mance.Generally,the online available student dataset comprises a lesser amount of sample,and k-fold cross-validation is performed to balance the dataset.Then,the relationship among the students’performance(features)is measured using the auto-encoder.The stacked Long Short Term Memory(s-LSTM)is used to learn the previous feedback connection.The stacked model handles the provided data and the data sequence for understanding the long-term dependencies.The simula-tion is done in the MATLAB 2020a environment,and the proposed model shows a better trade-off than the existing approaches.Some evaluation metrics like pre-diction accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,AUROC,F1-score and recall are evalu-ated using the proposed model.The performance of the s?LSTM model is compared with existing approaches.The proposed model gives 89% accuracy,83% precision,86%recall,and 87%F-score.The proposed model outperforms the existing systems in terms of the earlier metrics.

Assessing the Quality of Undergraduate Education for International Students in China:A Perspective of Student Learning Experiences

Purpose:The number of international students in China has been increasing over the recent decades.The rapid expansion of the international student population aroused concerns over the capacity of Chinese universities to fulfill international students’expectations toward academic development.Perceiving student learning experiences as an important indicator of higher education quality,this article focuses on undergraduate international students in China and discusses their learning experiences from three perspectives,i.e.,perceived learning environment,academic engagement,and student development.Design/Approach/Methods:Data were generated by a survey involving 1,428 international students studying for an undergraduate degree at 34 universities in China.Descriptive statistics were calculated,and the structural equation model was applied.Findings:The research showed the respondents’academic development in a range of skills and abilities,while their learning experiences at the Chinese higher education institutions(HEIs)were largely unsatisfactory.Specifically,the research revealed the respondents’moderate-to-low-level evaluation of perceived classroom learning environment,their low level of academic engagement,and the significant negative influences of the perceived classroom learning environment and academic engagement on their academic development.Originality/Value:The analysis holds implications for the enhancement of positive learning experiences of international undergraduate students in China and the improvement of the quality of Chinese international student education.Student learning experiences are an important indicator of the quality of college teaching.Drawing on the data generated by a survey involving 1,428 international students studying for an undergraduate degree at 34 universities in China,this presentation explores the characteristics of international undergraduate students’learning experiences in Chinese universities and analyzes the relationship among the three dimensions of their learning experiences.

The Assessment of Higher Education Quality from the Perspective of Students through a Case Study Analysis
