In education, detecting students graduating on time is difficult due to high data complexity. Researchers have employed various approaches in identifying on-time graduation with Machine Learning, but it remains a challenging task the class imbalance dataset. This study has aimed (i) compare treatment methods different sampling ratios, (ii) propose an ensemble method mitigating problem of imbalance, and (iii) develop evaluate predictive models likelihood during their studies university. The dataset collected from 4007 graduates university year 2021 2022 41 variables. After feature selection, were compared ratios ranging 50% 90%. Moreover, Ensemble-SMOTE proposed aggregate generated by Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique variants effectively. used as input graduation. evaluated based accuracy, precision, recall, F0.5-score, F1-score, F2-score, Area under Curve, Under Precision-Recall Curve. Based findings, Logistic Regression outperformed other models, achieving highest average accuracy (87.24), recall (92.50%), F1-score (91.30%), F2-score (92.02%) 6th until 10th trimester. To assess effectiveness methods, Friedman test performed determine significant difference between after applying Shapiro-Wilk normality test. Consequently, ranked top-performers lowest value rank performance metrics. Additional research could incorporate examine more complicated when highly imbalanced.

In education, identifying the important pre-university study factors poses a formidable challenge, due to necessity for human intervention in variable selection process. Determining enables educational institutions shape strategic planning throughout student's entire academic journey, with specific focus on factors. Researchers have investigated various approaches identify optimal features. One of techniques is by leveraging Artificial Intelligence. Therefore, this has attempted (i) variables towards graduate time, and (ii) develop as well evaluate predictive models without identified. The dataset collected from university Malaysia, containing 4463 student records 27 variables. It consists profile, registration details, grades Sijil Pelajaran English Test. Data preprocessing was performed remove those features more than 75% missing values impute other median. Important identified applying Boruta, BorutaShap. Among 22 variables, both methods permanent address district, date birth, campus, program description, History subject. To influence several Machine Learning were constructed its simplicity evaluated based accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, Area under Curve, findings showed that Gaussian NB produced highest recall (95.2%) when BorutaShap used.

In education, predicting students who can graduate on time is difficult. Identifying the significant variables challenging to predict on-time graduation because human intervention in variable selection required and time-consuming. It essential allow educational institutions improve student learning experiences by focusing variables. Researchers have applied various methods, such as Artificial Intelligence, time. This review has attempted (i) summarize compare diverse methods used researchers are likely time, (ii) identify gaps central issues existing literature related graduation, (iii) establish future potential directions for research contributing ongoing discourse enhancing outcomes. Drawing from an extensive analysis across conferences journals, a notable gap underscored: limited focus graduating among postgraduate students. The addresses small amounts of data variables, although demonstrated techniques timely including their strengths limitations. Future direction consider additional features performance predictive models conducting comparative different class treatment methods. As landscape evolves, these considerations paramount developing more effective strategies interventions ensure foster positive

Today the provision of sustainable quality education at all levels requires acquisition 21st-century skills critical reading, writing, numeracy, media and technology literacy.This becomes more when pursuing a postgraduate degree as one must sieve through volumes literature.Studies have indicated that attrition failure students to graduate on time become issues grave concern in most countries including Malaysia.Scholarly studies attributed this several reasons lack students' readiness for study terms their basic competency required undertake empirical investigations.Therefore, aim paper was examine with focus academic writing research skills.The involved total 110 first-year private university Malaysia.Data were collected via three-pronged approach involving tests, questionnaire, semi-structured interviews.The findings revealed there significant difference between perceived actual performance reading skills.Their also left much be desired.These indicate assumption embarking come well-equipped competencies can no longer ignored.Thus, it is pertinent initiatives need put place address so provided level.
