Representation of learning in the post-digital: students dropout predictive models with artificial intelligence algorithms.
Gabbrielli, M., Panciroli, C., Levrini, O., Zanellati, A., Macauda, A.
Within scientific debate on postdigital and education, we want to present a re-search project aimed at the design of a predictive model for implicit dropout, with particular reference to optimizing the representation of knowledge. In particular, we are dealing with a model aimed at predicting the occurrence of a learning gap in mathematics with INVALSI data, through the use of specific Machine Learning algo-rithms.
