Use of Fuzzy Logic in Determining the Academic Achievement of Secondary School Students in Mathematics Class

İngilizce (OpenAlex)

Many studies have been found in the field of education using the fuzzy logic approach. However, no study has been found examining the academic achievement of secondary school students in mathematics. The research data consists of the exam notes of the 1st term 1st and 2nd Mathematics course of the 2023-2024 academic year in Kütahya. The study consists of the exam scores of 876 students studying in 4 secondary schools in the center of Kütahya. To study a fuzzy logic-based two-input and single-output system was designed using Fuzzy Logic Toolbox in the Matlab program. Totally 9 fuzzy rules were created. The academic success was evaluated first with classical method and then with the designed fuzzy-based model. According to the results obtained, it has been observed that there is a high positive relationship between fuzzy logic method and classical logic method. It was academic success score obtained fuzzy logic method was less than classical logic method for grades 5 and 7. But it was obtained fuzzy logic method was more than classical logic method for grades 6 and 8. In conclusion was reached in favor of fuzzy logic due to fuzzy logic method gives more flexible results.
