ABSTRACT
We review the history and current trends in the field of Educational Data Mining (EDM). We consider the methodological profile of research in the early years of EDM, compared to in 2008 and 2009, and discuss trends
and shifts in the research conducted by this community. In particular, we discuss the increased emphasis on prediction, the emergence of work using existing models to make scientific discoveries (“discovery with
models”), and the reduction in the frequency of relationship mining within the EDM community. We discuss
two ways that researchers have attempted to categorize the diversity of research in educational data mining
research, and review the types of research problems that these methods have been used to address. The mostcited
papers in EDM between 1995 and 2005 are listed, and their influence on the EDM community (and
beyond the EDM community) is discussed
INTRODUCTION
The year 2009 finds the nascent research community of Educational Data Mining (EDM) growing and continuing to develop. This summer, the second annual international conference on Educational Data Mining, EDM2009, was held in Cordoba, Spain, and plans are already underway for the third international conference to occur in June 2010 in
Pittsburgh, USA. With the publication of this issue, the Educational Data Mining community now has its own journal, the Journal of Educational Data Mining. In addition, it is anticipated that in the next year, Chapman & Hall/CRC Press, Taylor and Francis Group will publish the first Handbook of Educational Data Mining.This moment in the educational data mining community’s history provides a unique opportunity to consider where we come from and where we are headed. In this article, we will review some of the major areas and trends in EDM, some of the most prominent articles in the field (both those published in specific EDM venues, and in other venues where top-quality EDM research can be found), and consider what the future may hold
for our community.
