Abstract

In the context of Educational Revolution 4.0, text mining with digital tools plays an important role. Various techniques and softwares have been employed in text mining, among which the clustering technique using Atlas.ti, a German software, is widely used thanks to its versatility and open access. This article presents the results of clustering Mathematical terms in Algebra textbook in Vietnamese high schools with the support of Atlas.ti. Initial research results can yield the insight into the relationship among Mathematical terms in the curriculum, thereby, aiming for a better teaching process.
