    This journal review summarizes a research article that implemented an information gain feature selection technique in machine learning classification algorithms to predict students' academic performance. The research used data from 395 Portuguese students to identify factors influencing final grades. It found that applying the information gain technique improved the accuracy of decision tree, random forest, ANN, SVM, and naive Bayes classifiers by reducing irrelevant features. The technique selected the top ten features and achieved the best results, demonstrating the highest accuracy scores for all machine learning models used in predicting academic performance.

    Research Goal The main goal of this research is
    to identify relevant factors
    influencing students' academic
    performance by implementing
    the information gain feature
    selection technique in a machine
    learning classification algorithm
    Research Subject The subjects of this research are
    students in the Alentejo region
    of Portugal, with a total of 395
    data used, employing machine
    learning classification algorithms
    including Decision Tree, Random
    Forest, ANN, SVM, and Naïve
    Bayes
    Research Method The method used in this
    research is a classification
    method where, from the
    collected data, factors
    influencing the final academic
    grades of students are identified
    Research Results Overall, the results of this
    research provide several pieces
    of evidence that the
    implementation of the
    information gain feature
    selection technique can
    influence the accuracy of
    machine learning classification
    algorithms (J48, Random Forest,
    MLP, SVM (SMO), and Naïve
    Bayes) in predicting students'
    academic performance in the
    subject of Mathematics. The
    results of this research indicate
    that implementing the feature
    selection technique can enhance
    accuracy as irrelevant features
    to the classification target have
    been reduced. The information
    gain feature selection technique,
    which selects the top ten
    features, yields the best results
    in this study, as demonstrated
    by the highest accuracy achieved
    by all machine learning
    classification algorithms used for
    prediction
    Research Power The strength of this research is
    the tool used, which is data
    classification, and it is quite
    user-friendly for the research
    subjects, so data collection does
    not require a long time as in
    qualitative methods
