Supporting Institutional Awareness and Academic Advising using Clustered Study Profiles
The purpose of academic advising is to help students with developing educational plans that support their
academic career and personal goals, and to provide information and guidance on studies. Planning and management
of the students’ study path is the main joint activity in advising. Based on a study log of passed
courses, we propose to use robust, prototype-based clustering to identify a set of actual study path profiles.
Such profiles identify groups of students with similar progress of studies, whose analysis and interpretation
can be used for better institutional awareness and to support evidence-based academic advising. A model of
automated academic advising system utilizing the possibility to determine the study profiles is proposed.peerReviewe
