Recommendation System to Improve Time Management for People in Education Environments

Authors : Samaher Al-Janabi, Mahdi Abed Salman and Ahmed Fanfakh

Abstract: The subject of time management is important and useful in different fields of our life and society as a whole. It is considered as an invaluable factor if utilized correctly. This study aims to design a Time Management Recommendation System (TMRS) for Educational Environment (EE) to provide their students, employees and academic staff an effective way to exploit their time. We will build a system consist of 6 steps: set a questionnaire, it consists of 50 questions. These questions explain how each person deals with the time, distribute the questionnaire among target categories (student, academic staff and employees) in EE using a web link and collect their responses in real time, pre-processing target categories responses by transforming from them from descriptive to digital answer to help deal with these data that will be used to build the fitted model and the most important questions were determined in this phase. Design suitable model for all the 800 response samples used in testing for the all three group of people in EE in this step, design model shows the relationship between the response of academic staff and employees, other model show the relationship between the response of academic staff and students, final model show the fitted model among the response of academic staff employees and students. The TMRS Model performance was evaluated using two types of statistical measures and each one has 5 measures. By another words, the model accuracy will be tested using ten measures, these measures include five measures generated by a confusion matrix, namely: Accuracy (AC), recall or True Positive rate (TP), Precision (P), F-measure and (considers both precision and recall) and Fb. In addition, five error measures, namely: Maximum Error (ME, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Finally, generate different recommendations compactable with the fitted model, these recommendations split into four groups. The findings and analysis of this research can provide a way for the target categories to gather useful information about probable trouble areas, possible areas for development and what to do to manage, use, plan, exploit and get the maximum value from their time.
