APPLICATION FOR TRACKING STUDENTS’ EFFICIENCY AND PREDICTING EXPECTATIONS BASED ON CURRENT RESULTS

Abstract

Globalization and technological development are radically changing the landscape of higher education. Students increasingly expect to choose what they learn, how they learn and when they learn, according to their individual needs and interests. Computer applications in education system introduce unique technical, managerial and most importantly pedagogical issues. Using business discovery platform QlikView, application developed in this research, should be beneficial to both, students and professors at the university. The relation database model is based on data collected from student admission service of Faculty of Organizational Science, University of Belgrade. Application allows students to analyze current study success, but also to predict future performance success. In addition, students can use developed application as an advisor system, which can be useful in helping student plan for the upcoming semesters and also to be able to answer any questions that the student may have regarding his/her academic standing.
