In recent years, many universities in Taiwan have established offices of institutional research one after another, dedicated to exploring student issues and
evaluating school’s policies. These offices assist school administration in improving school management and future development planning by scientific decision support
systems. The goal is to promote the development of schools and educational policies, enhance teaching quality, student learning outcomes and school operational efficiency.
In the era of big data, institutions would face plenty of issues. However, it still difficult to determine which types of data should be used in specific issue analysis.
Occasionally, analysis results may be wrong or unexpected. This situation often happen when the dimension of data within institution itself is not widely enough.
Insufficient data types can lead to inaccurate analysis results, must incorporate additional data for reanalysis to obtain expected outcomes. This research aims to
explore the need for incorporating additional data into existing datasets for analysis. We compare the odds ratio before and after incorporating additional data, evaluating
three scenarios: changes in the strength of quasi causal rule, more specific quasi causal rules and core direct quasi causal rules. This provide analysts with a method to
consider whether additional data should be incorporated from a causal odds ratio perspective. This research takes student data as an example, implements causal odds
ratio mining with student data and discusses whether “providing financial assistance to student” and “expanding student’s social network” should be considered when
exploring issues related to prospects after graduation. |
