Abstract

Abstract: Currently, admission to higher education takes place mainly by conducting the National High School Examination (ENEM), which reaches five million participants per year. This test made it easy to attend a university, be it public or private, however, for disabled people, being a university student is still a major obstacle. This article presents an analysis of the participants who have physical and psychological disabilities who provided the ENEM, through a predictive model, in order to assist in understanding the candidate's final performance. Using data mining techniques applied in the database related to the test held in 2018, a machine learning algorithm, C4.5, was used, which generates an interpretable pattern through a decision tree, to predict what was the candidate's final performance, according to some characteristics, such as: socioeconomic, demographic, ethnic, age group and academic background, checking whether such attributes influence the final performance.
