Technology and data analysis have evolved into a resource-rich tool for collecting, researching and comparing student achievement levels in the classroom. There are sufficient resources to discover student success through data analysis by routinely collecting extensive data on student behaviour and curriculum structure. Educational Data Mining (EDM), a method of data analysis in the learning environment, has emerged as an emerging trend in the development of educational data mining and analysis techniques. EDM aids in the comprehension of student behaviour as well as the factors that influence student behaviour and achievement. Student learning patterns, student culture, and instructional skills are all important factors in a successful study of EDM students. This study will look at how technology and data mining are used in the EDM environment and compare the results. We have used previous research to determine which method is best for observing the learning environment and what factors influence student academic performance. Two state-of-the-art models i.e. decision tree (classifier) and DBSCAN (clustering method) are used to predict the performance of an educational institute with higher accuracy.
