The problem of students disapproval is often pointed as an influential factor in dropping out of university programs. This work proposes the use of techniques of Educational Data Mining to predict the performance of students in the course of Programming Logic, of the second period of the Bachelor of Science and Technology program at UFRN, based on performance in the courses of the first period of that program. The results showed that it is possible to infer students performance with an accuracy of up to 77%, this information being useful for planning actions to avoid disapproval/dropout and, especially, to personalize the teaching of programming logicAttribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/br/Ciência de dados educacionaisAprendizado de máquinaDados educacionaisarticle10.34117/bjdv6n1-186
