This has been observed in subjects of Algorithms and Data Structures of Information Systems Engineering career (ISI) of the National Technological University, Resistencia Regional Faculty (UTNFRRe), situated in Resistencia city, province of Chaco, Argentine, where the poor academic performance is observed at very high rates (between 60% and about 80% in recent years). In this paper, we propose the use of data mining techniques on performance information for students of the subject mentioned, in order to characterize the profiles of successful students (good academic performance) and those that are not (poor performance). This article describes the data models and data mining used and the main results are also commented.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/academic performance profilesdata warehousesdata miningknowledge discovery in databasesAcademic performance profiles in algorithms and data structures of UTNinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleAcceso AbiertoAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United States
