A HYBRID MACHINE LEARNING FRAMEWORK FOR INTELLIGENT DECISION SUPPORT IN EDUCATION
The increasing use of digital platforms in higher education has led to the continuous generation of large volumes of student-related academic data. Effectively utilizing this data has become essential for improving academic performance monitoring, student retention, and institutional planning. Intelligent Decision Support Systems (IDSS) provide a systematic approach for analyzing educational data and supporting informed academic decision-making. However, many existing decision support systems rely on traditional analytical techniques or single machine learning models, which often struggle to manage the complexity, diversity, and uncertainty inherent in real-world educational datasets.
