Data mining methods for education research

Despite some theoretical promise, it is unclear whether rule induction data mining approaches(e.g., classification trees and association rules) add methodological value to "orthodox" education research, i.e., research unrelated to computer-based education. To better understand whether and how rule induction methods could be useful to education researchers, I explored whether they, relative to regression approaches, (1) improve classification accuracy, and/or (2) offer new avenues of explanation. Additionally, I aimed to illustrate a practical and principled way to use the various rule induction approaches so researchers can more easily choose to use it.
