COMPATIBILITY OF SELECTION OF STUDENT DEPARTMENTS USING k-NEAREST NEIGHBOR AND NAÏVE BAYES CLASSIFIER IN INFORMATICS PRIVATE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL, SERANG CITY

Abstract

Selection of majors by prospective students when registering at a school, especially a Vocational High School, is very vulnerable because prospective students usually choose a major not because of their individual wishes. And because of the increasing emergence of new schools in cities and districts in each province in Indonesia, especially in the province of Banten. Problems experienced by prospective students when choosing the wrong department or not because of their desire, so that it has an unsatisfactory value or value in each semester fluctuates, especially in their Productive Lessons or Competencies. To provide a solution, a departmental suitability system is needed that can provide recommendations for specialization or major suitability based on students' abilities through attributes that can later assist students in the suitability of majors. The process of classifying the suitability of majors in data mining uses the k-Nearest Neighbor and Naive Bayes Classifier methods by entering 16 (sixteen) criteria or attributes which can later provide an assessment of students through this test when determining the majors for themselves, and there is no interference from people. another when choosing a major later. Research that has been carried out successfully using the k-Nearest Neighbors method has a higher recall of 99%, 81% accuracy and 82% precision compared to the Naïve Bayes Classifier whose recall only yields 98% while the accuracy and precision is the same as the k- Nearest Neighbors.
