Abstract :
There is such an increasing interest in data mining and educational systems currently that has made educational data mining as a new growing research community. This paper explores how to develope new methods for discovering knowledge of data from educational context. The non-linear correlation technology was introduced and applied in the mining process in the whole knowledge achieved. Meanwhile, we have applied these methods in the real course management datasets and found correspondent results for the educators.
