SPECs: Student Performance Evaluation and Counselling Supporting System

This paper adopts a retrieving mechanism from case-based reasoning approach to implementing a decision support system that can evaluate a study performance of the students and also suggest an appropriate courses plan for enrolment based on the historical data. This system will retrieve the most similar enrolment plan from the senior students' records, in order to suggest the current student who is facing of a probation situation (GPAX<;2.00) and coming to have an advice with his/her advisor. To develop the system, a methodology is distinguished into three parts of research study which are data preparation, similarity calculation and matching, and counseling system. By using the leave-one-out cross-validation, this system can perform the best at 99.16% of Precision, 23.37% of Recall, and 37.82% of F-measure when evaluating the system with confusion matrix.
