Course associative classification rules (courseACRs) to evaluate course equivalency for credits transferring process

Abstract

This study was to create course associative classification rules called CourseACRs to evaluate course equivalency for a credit transferring process by using the associative classification technique. The purpose of this study was to create course evaluation tools for evaluating course equivalency. This study used course transfer history records of students in three bachelor's degree programs at Chandrakasem Rajabhat Univeristy, Thailand-- Information Technology, Computer Science and Multimedia Technology-- as a training data set. The result of this study revealed that the CourseACRs performed at a good level of performance with an accuracy rate of 89.63% of the courses equivalency model for the university's credit transferring process. Finally, the research discovered that the CourseACRs can be a guideline for academic staff and students to evaluate course equivalency in the credit transferring process and to manage an appropriate study plan after the credit transferring process in the future as well.
