Abstract

With the growing interest in and significance of Educational Data Mining to educators’ performance, there is a vital need to comprehend the full scope of job performance that can substantially impact teaching quality. However, a few educational institutions are attempting to improve educator effectiveness to improve student outcomes. Furthermore, for reasons of confidentiality, most institutions do not share their data. As a result, an assessment of a self-assessment strategy is required to improve educators’ performance. With four input parameters and five classifiers (Logistics Regression, Naive Bayes, K-nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machine- Linear, and Radial Basis Function), the proposed PSRE (Professional, Social, Research, and Emotional behavior) self-assessment approach is modeled to predict the overall performance of educators working in various Higher Educational Institutions. Overall, K-nearest neighbor has a high accuracy of 95.43%, which may help determine educators’ progress and assist them in reaching new professional heights.
