Modified Fuzzy Neural Network Approach for Academic Performance Prediction of Students in Early Childhood Education
Abstract
Modern education relies heavily on educational
technology, which provides students with unique learning
opportunities and enhances their ability to learn. For many
years now, computers and other technological tools have been
an integral part of education. However, compared to other
educational levels, the incorporation of educational technology
in early childhood education is a more recent trend. It is
because of this that materials and procedures tailored to young
children must be created, implemented, and studied. The use of
artificial intelligence techniques in educational technology
resources has resulted in better engagement for students. Early
childhood special education students academic achievement is
predicted using a Modified Fuzzy Neural Network (MFNN).
Before constructing the classifier, the dataset had to be
preprocessed to remove any extraneous information. As a
follow-up, this study will put to the test an organized approach
to the implementation of customized fuzzy neural networks for
the prediction of academic achievement in early childhood
settings. Considerations for the analysis of academic
achievement in early childhood education are discussed in this
article, including recommendations for the implementation of
proposed modified fuzzy neural networks. In terms of
evaluation metrics such as Precision, recall, accuracy, and the
F1 coefficient, the proposed model outperforms conventional
machine-learning (ML) techniques.
