Educational Data Mining (EDM) is a rich research field in computer science.
Tools and techniques in EDM are useful to predict student performance which gives practitioners useful insights to develop appropriate intervention strategies to improve pass rates and increase retention.
The performance of the state-of-the-art machine learning classifiers is very much dependent on the task at hand.
Investigating support vector machines has been used extensively in classification problems; however, the extant of literature shows a gap in the application of linear support vector machines as a predictor of student performance.
The aim of this study was to compare the performance of linear support vector machines with the performance of the state-of-the-art classical machine learning algorithms in order to determine the algorithm that would improve prediction of student performance.
In this quantitative study, an experimental research design was used.
Experiments were set up using feature selection on a publicly available dataset of 1000 alpha-numeric student records.
Linear support vector machines benchmarked with ten categorical machine learning algorithms showed superior performance in predicting student performance.
The results of this research showed that features like race, gender, and lunch influence performance in mathematics whilst access to lunch was the primary factor which influences reading and writing performance.
