Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
Abstract
There is no doubt that the teaching of university Chemistry plays a critical role in enriching the students’ knowledge with analytical and problem-solving skills that are necessary for achieving academic and professional progress in many fields. However, the process of evaluating the quality of Chemistry teaching remains a challenging task because it usually relies on subjective judgments, diversity of criteria, and variability in human perception, leading to inherent uncertainty. Bipolar Neutrosophic Sets (NS) provide appropriate representation for uncertainty setting ls with three levels of membership, each with positive and negative degrees. Inspired by that, this study contributes to the body of knowledge by proposing a Neutrosophic approach that can assess the quality of teaching of university psychics considering different factors and teaching scenarios. The weight of the Bipolar Neutrosophic number associated with each teaching criterion is determined using the IDOCRIW. Then, we introduce a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) that integrates a Minkowski-based TOPSIS method working on Bipolar NS. Proof-of-concept analysis is conducted to solve numerical case studies analyzing different teaching alternatives, and the results demonstrate the ability of our method to appropriately make the correct decision that maximizes providing valuable insights about the teaching scenario that can maximize the student benefit from the Chemistry course.
