Fuzzy dematel: Evaluation of Curriculum Development Factors for Effective Learning

Here’s an example of a decision-making problem related to education: Evaluation of Curriculum Development Factors for Effective Learning

The evaluation of curriculum development factors for effective learning involves assessing criteria such as learning outcomes, student engagement, teaching methods, assessment strategies, learning resources, and faculty competence. By analyzing their interdependencies using tools like Fuzzy DEMATEL, insights can be gained to improve curriculum design and enhance educational outcomes

In this example, Fuzzy DEMATEL will be utilized to analyze the interdependencies and causal relationships among the criteria. The project team will assess the influence and dependence levels between each criterion, determining the cause and effect relationships within the curriculum development process. This analysis will help identify the critical factors that significantly impact effective learning in the educational context. The results of the Fuzzy DEMATEL analysis will provide valuable insights to improve curriculum design, enhance student engagement, optimize teaching methods, and allocate resources effectively for better educational outcomes.

1. Objective

Evaluation of Curriculum Development Factors for Effective Learning

2. Determining the model and criteria

In this step, the model and criteria  are determined:

Model:  Fuzzy Dematel
Number of Criteria: 6
Criteria names:

1. Learning Outcomes
2. Student Engagement
3. Teaching Methods
4. Assessment Strategies
5. Learning Resources
6. Faculty Competence

2. Create decision matrix

After determining the criteria, the decision matrix is formed. It organizes criteria in rows  in columns, assigning scores to each criterion. The table below shows the decision matrix.

3. Run software:

The data is placed in the software and the software is executed. The following video shows the implementation of the software:

4. Get Result

In this step, you can see the result of the report. The report is presented in three types of formats: online report, Excel and Word. You can view or download three types of formats below.
