چکیده
Aim/Purpose: This research aims to present a brand-new approach for student performance prediction using the Learning Fuzzy Cognitive Map (LFCM) approach. Background: Predicting academic has long been an important topic in many disciplines. Different mathematical models have employed predict performance. Although available sets of common approaches, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and regression, work well with large datasets, they face challenges dealing small sample sizes, limiting their practical applications real practices. Methodology: Six distinct categories antecedents are adopted here course characteristics, LMS engagement, support, institutional factors, along measurement items within each category. Furthermore, we assessed student’s overall three satisfaction score, knowledge construction level, GPA. We collected longitudinal data from 30 postgraduates four subsequent semesters analyzed technique. Contribution: proposes brand new approach, (LFCM), Using this identified most influential determinants performance, engagement. Besides, depicts model interrelations among determinants. Findings: The results suggest that reasonably predicts incoming sequence when there is limited size. also reveal students’ total online time regularity learning interval largest effect on engagement category highest direct Recommendations Practitioners: Academic institutions can use developed paper identify antecedents, establish action plans resolve shortcomings term. Instructors adjust methods based feedback students short run operational level. Recommendation Researchers: Researchers proposed deal problems other domains, organizational/institutional education. focus specific dimensions model, exploring ways boost process. Impact Society: Our revealed at center degree which dedicated crucial determinant outcome. Therefore, learners should consider finding order gain value Future Research: As potential future works, could be used contexts test its applicability. studies improve level LFMC by tuning model’s elements.

متن کاملReasoning and unsupervised learning in a fuzzy cognitive map
This paper presents a new model for unsupervised learning and reasoning on a special type of cognitive maps realized with Petri nets. The unsupervised learning process in the present context adapts the weights of the directed arcs from transitions to places in the Petri net. A Hebbian-type learning algorithm with a natural decay in weights is employed to study the dynamic behavior of the algori...
متن کاملFuzzy set approach to the assessment of student-centered learning
Assessment of student learning is an important task in a teaching and learning process. It has a strong influence on students’ approaches to learning and their outcomes. Recent development in tertiary education has shifted its emphasis from teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning. In a student-centered learning environment, criterion-referenced assessment techniques are often use...
متن کاملA Survey of Fuzzy Cognitive Map Learning Methods
There are many techniques that can be used for modeling and analysis of dynamic systems. Generally speaking, they may be divided in to two groups such as quantitative and qualitative techniques [22]. The former one encompasses all quantitative methods that target both well-understood systems, (e.g., mathematical programming techniques of operation research) as well as those that ae less underst...
متن کاملA weight adaptation method for fuzzy cognitive map learning
Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) constitute an attractive modeling approach that encompasses advantageous features. The most pronounces are the flexibility in system design, model and control, the comprehensive operation and the abstractive representation of complex systems. The main deficiencies of FCMs are the critical dependence on the initial expert’s beliefs, the recalculation of the weights co...
