Student problem analyzer for mathematics: The design perspective

This paper discusses, in the form of assumptions, the design phase of a Student Problem Analyzer for mathematics module which analyzes a student´s academic results in the subject of mathematics and pin points the root causes that are preventing the student from excelling. A flow of how the system diagnoses a student´s problem was designed in a previous study and was used extensively in this paper. This paper discusses designing the system itself and the components needed to develop it. First the syllabus of the KBSR Mathematics used in schools is analyzed. Next the requirements for computational items are defined. The computational structure is also designed and identified. Further research is then proposed to fulfill the requirements for designing the computational items.
