Abstract

The evaluation of English course goal attainment is an important basis for colleges and universities to judge whether the goal of cultivating foreign language talents has been achieved. This paper proposes a method for quantitative assessment of course goal attainment according to the OBE concept. Calculating the importance of attributes about classification, the decision tree algorithm based on rough set is proposed, combined with association rules for deep mining of educational data. Collect quantitative educational data and questionnaire data of a university, modeling relying on SPSS Modeler 14.2, and outputting decision tree of influencing factors. Using the evaluation of course goal achievement to analyze the achievement of A4 course goals, and exploring the association rules of influencing factors based on the decision tree. The traditional decision tree algorithm is introduced as a control group to evaluate the performance of the rough set-based decision tree algorithm. The results show that the achievement degree of each sub-objective of A4 course is higher than 0.70, and students who have the achievement degree of A4 course objective greater than 0.7, the nature of their major is foreign language and they have passed the Grade 4 test have a higher possibility of achieving the final foreign language talent cultivation goal of the university. The precision of the assessment method based on rough set decision tree is maintained at about 88%, and the accuracy rate is basically maintained at about 90%.
