Abstract

This study proposed a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology for evaluating the Dual-Qualified" Teachers Quality. This evaluation has various criteria and factors. So, the MCDM can deal with these factors. This study combines the MCDM methodology with the plithogenic set to deal with uncertainty and vague information. Three experts are invited to evaluate the criteria and alternatives. Then we replace their opinions by using plithogenic numbers. We used plithogenic operators to combine these numbers. Eight criteria and eleven alternatives are used in this study. We used the TOPSIS method under the plithogenic numbers to rank the alternatives. the results show the Professional Knowledge and Industry Expertise criterion has the highest weights and Research and Innovation in Teaching criterion has the lowest weights. We validated the proposed methodology by an application. The results show the proposed methodology is effective.
