Educational Data Warehouse: A View about Dropout on Higher Education
Abstract
Dropout is one of the main challenges of educational institutions. In this sense, this paper presents the implementation of a Data Warehouse for data analysis and decision making in a higher education institution in Brazil. The presented Data Warehouse allows integrated views that assist in analysis such as: 1) distribution of students’ performance coefficient; 2) identification of student profiles and 3) insight into student achievement by locality. These analyzes are intended to assist academic management in identifying patterns that lead to dropout and thus to promote directions for preventive actions and mainly to expand the use of this analytical database developing new solutions, such as predictive models.
