Abstract

In Malaysia, children of B40 community have several disadvantaged lives, which may give an impact on their academic achievement. The government and school management monitor the improvement of academic performance and should leverage data analytics technology for trends and patterns. It can also aid in establishing the causes of B40 community students’ progress or degradation in academic performance. Thus, this paper discusses a data analytics pattern analysis framework to assist decision makers in more effectively and properly seeing and analyzing shifting trends and patterns of academic progress and lifestyles of B40 community students. The analytical framework is built in modules that includes data collection, data preprocessing, and preparation, followed by a pattern analysis generator and visualizations. The framework is expected to benefit students, schoolteachers, and the Ministry of Education. This research investigates if educational programs and healthy lifestyle awareness may be adapted particularly for B40 children to improve their academic accomplishment, as the government wishes.
