Abstract

The purpose of this experimental research is to investigate the efficacy of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) implementing theory-guided genetic programming model for at-risk student prediction and retention improvement. The predictive model incorporates human-computer interaction theory, Fink’s Taxonomy of Significant Learning, and evidence-based contributing factors. Purposive and volunteer sampling will be employed to select first-year freshman cohorts (i.e., control and experimental groups) enrolled in an online higher education program over a two-semester period. Educational data mining and feedback surveys are employed for data collection and analysis. Mean values and effect sizes will be reported at the .05 significance level.
