Abstract

Assessment constitutes a fundamental part of an academic learning process due to its importance in testing students gaining knowledge and finalizing their grades. This study aims to develop a data mining based framework for analyzing students’ assessment feedback that will be obtained from social media sites and/or text feedback. The study consists of three stages: The first stage is to build a model that automatically detect the polarity of student feedback using sentiment analysis methods. The second stage is to build a model that automatically classify issues of assessment. And finally, test the correlation between issue(s) and students’ performance. The research uses different popular algorithms for text classification to analyze students’ feedback of assessment to enhance learning process.
