Abstract
Description
Many institutions of learning encourage students to have good lecture attendance records. The belief
is that an above average attendance rate will enhance students’ academic performance. However,
very few studies have attempted to answer questions that relate to: i) the actual impact of good
attendance record on students' academic performance; ii) the extent, in quantitative terms, of the
effect of good attendance record on students’ academic performance. This paper reports the findings
from an experimental analysis of students’ attendance record and corresponding academic
performance results using Association Rule Mining. Over the years, Association Rule Mining has
proved to be effective in analysing relationship between variables in transactional databases. The
result of the case study provides useful information for the managements of higher institutions of
learning on appropriate perspective to adopt on class attendance policies.
