The purpose of this study is to design a MATLAB toolbox for misconceptions analysis based on Student-Problem Chart (S-P Chart), Grey Relational Analysis (GRA), and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC). Misconceptions analysis is actually necessary for teachers as well as students to improve teaching and learning process. Moreover, it is not only an objective research method, but also can evaluate the comprehensive academic achievement of students, and can select problems for the test. However, there is a difficult problem of the calculation for this method. Therefore, the design of a MATLAB toolbox for misconceptions analysis is necessary. This toolbox not only helps to process data quickly and accurately, but also displays the results on a graphical user interface visually. The experimental results show that this toolbox is actually useful for teachers in analyzing and evaluating the learning performance of students, and helps researchers to perform their educational researches more convenient.
