Prediction in Education is a very complex task, due the high number of factors, most of them of qualitative type. Among others, researchers applied statistical analysis (different kinds of regressions), educational data mining, and Artificial Neural Networks. What do you think about the reliability of ANN as predictor tool in Education?

not found pretty productive. we did a similar study, and used statistical tools instead of using the NN or its variants.

Hi Rey,
ANN is fine, although it may require long time to accomplish learning process. Hence, you need to know that your data play an important role in your task. On the other hand, you may consider applying time series forecasting as another approach

It is interesting this line of research, I have publications with diffuse logic in education and predictive statistics but always fundamental is the pedagogy.
