This study aims to analyze the factors that influence students' interest in continuing their education to college using a machine learning approach. Data was collected through an online questionnaire completed by 727 students between July 27 and August 22, 2025, covering 23 variables consisting of respondent identity (gender, grade level, major) as well as internal and external factors such as parental support, learning motivation, and preferred type of college. The data preparation stage was carried out through column cleaning, deletion of empty data, encoding of categorical variables, and division of the dataset into 80% training data and 20% test data. The Naive Bayes algorithm of the CategoricalNB type was used because it was suitable for the categorical nature of the data. The evaluation results showed that the model was able to predict student interest with 96% accuracy. For the class of students interested in continuing their studies, the precision, recall, and F1-score values were above 0.95, while the performance in the class of students who were not interested was slightly lower due to the smaller amount of data. These findings show that Naive Bayes is proven to be effective and reliable in classifying students' interest in continuing their studies and can be the basis for decision-making in designing more targeted educational strategies.

Academic data increases every year in line with the increase of students. Abundant data store is alsoan abundance of information. Data mining technology is a tool for extracting information on largedatabases and has been widely used in many domains. Predicting student performance (study evaluation) isan activity to determine a future state based on existing data. Data in the field of academic research hasbeen done with various methods and algorithms, but the use of algorithm SLIQ (Supervised Learning InQuest) has not been done.SLIQ is an algorithm developed by the IBM's Quest project team in 1996 for mining large datasets.SLIQ algorithm classify and predict the students performance, beginning with the data cleaning, conductedelection training and testing data. By calculating gini index of each attribute and then selecting thesmallest gini index data table is split according to the criteria until find the same class. From the results ofthe calculation process can produce a set of rules that can be used to predict student performance.From the experiment it can be concluded that the algorithm SLIQ with decision tree technique canbe used as an alternative in designing a system datamining applications. Tests conducted system showedthat the constructed model can be used to predict the performance of new students. The resulting accuracyof the model system in fact has a lower score than the accuracy of other applications that are used as acomparison of Tanagra. Advantages of the proposed system is in its design does not need complexcalculations in obtaining the gini index attributes.
