Wisconsin’s influential Learnfare initiative is a conditional cash penalty program that sanctions a family’s welfare grant when covered teens fail to meet school attendance targets. In the presence of reference-dependent preferences, Learnfare provides uniquely powerful financial incentives for student performance. However, a 10-county random-assignment evaluation suggested that Learnfare had n...

Approximately one third of U.S. high-school freshmen do not earn their high-school diploma on time. For African-American and Hispanic students, this figure nearly reaches one half. The long-term economic consequences of dropping out of school for both the student and the larger community have been well documented. It has also been argued that school dropouts put themselves at a higher risk for ...

Since a high dropout rate for university students is significant risk to local communities and countries, prediction model using machine learning an active research domain prevent from dropping out. However, it challenging fulfill the needs of consulting institutes office academic affairs. To institute, accuracy in utmost importance; offices affairs other offices, reason out essential. This pap...

In this paper, we explore student dropout behavior in Massive Open Online Courses(MOOC). We use as a case study a recent Coursera class from which we develop a survival model that allows us to measure the influence of factors extracted from that data on student dropout rate. Specifically we explore factors related to student behavior and social positioning within discussion forums using standar...

Predicting college and school dropouts is a major problem in educational system and has complicated challenge due to data imbalance and multi dimensionality, which can affect the low performance of students. In this paper, we have collected different database from various colleges, among these 500 best real attributes are identified in order to identify the factor that affecting dropout student...

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a popular approach to instruction that supports students get hands-on training by solving problems. Question Pool websites (QPs) such as LeetCode, Code Chef, and Math Playground help PBL supplying authentic, diverse, contextualized questions students. Nonetheless, empirical findings suggest 40% 80% of registered in QPs drop out less than two months. This research...

One of the biggest challenges in higher educational institutions is to avoid students’ failures. Globally student dropout a serious issue. Risk dropouts can be identified at an earlier stage using machine learning classifiers, as they have gained more popularity both academia and industry. The research team suggests that early prediction facilitates educators education administrators take neces...

INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES The authors make the balance of the first five years of teaching Anatomy to the Licensure in Health Sciences, of Lisbon University. MATERIALS AND METHODS Were studied 408 students, enrolled in the Curricular Unit of Anatomy (mandatory subject of the 1st semester) and 29 in the Curricular Unit of Neuroanatomy (optional subject of the 6th semester). It was performed the ...

Aims. The clustering properties of a large sample of U-dropouts are investigated and compared to very precise results for B-dropouts from other studies to identify a possible evolution from z ∼ 4 to z ∼ 3. Methods. A population of ∼ 8800 candidates for star-forming galaxies at z = 3 is selected via the well-known Lyman-break technique from a large optical multicolour survey (the ESO Deep Public...
