Educational Applications of the DIKW Model in Data Mining

Abstract: Data mining involves more than just technical skills; it requires a comprehensive framework that al-lows the conversion of raw data into knowledge. This research paper explores the possibility of integrating the DIKW (Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom) pyramid model into datamining, especially in educa-tion. It shows how its application can significantly enhance student’s understanding and decision-making capabilities. Through a structured approach that combines theoretical with practical practices, including the use of external tools like Microsoft Excel, this paper highlights not only the significance of the DIKW model but also its practical application in promoting critical thinking and strategic decision-making skills. The paper revealed that students might improve their grasp of data mining and develop a more profound ability to use these understandings in practical, real-world scenarios. This paper contributes to the ongoing development of the uses of the DIKW model by providing evidence of combining conceptual frameworks with experiential learning to enhance educational outcomes.
