Abstract

This paper aims to analytically compare and evaluate the students’ performance results by applying several classification techniques in WEKA based on frequency students’ using online discussion forum. We then compare and evaluate the performance results from five classification techniques, there are linear regression, multilayer perceptron, random forest, IBK and Kstar, which give the best results in terms of accuracy, performance and error. The basis of the data was derived from extraction and analysis of distance learning students’ (202 undergraduate students majoring in English Professional in one of private university in Indonesia) e-learning logged- post in discussion forum and attendance. Based on the result, it has been concluded that using Linear Regression technique provides best predication results of final examination. Finally, we apply Linear Regression as benchmarking of data mining techniques to predict students’ performance and interpret the results that the features in online discussion forum can predict students’ performance.
