The use of data analysis techniques in educational contexts supports planning and decision-making. Data mining is an alternative that meets the current needs in data management in this field of study. However, most data mining tools and applications are geared towards general domains; they do not specialize in the problems or data inherent in this particular domain. This article presents an initial proposal for an educational data mining model with a specific domain approach to offer solution mechanisms to particular problems at each stage of the mining process and generic domain models in general. In this model iteration, the problems associated with the data were addressed through transformations from generic to a specific domain. © 2021 IEEE.
