An Uncertainty Framework for Development Level Evaluation of Preschool Education in Rural and Remote Communities

Abstract

This study proposed an uncertainty framework for evaluation of Integrated 
Preschool with School in Rural and Remote Communities. This evaluation has various 
criteria so, we used the concept of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). There are 
various MCDM methods to deal with decision making problems. We used the COPRAS 
method to rank the alternatives. COPRAS is a MCDM method dealing with various 
criteria and alternatives. This study used the Plithogenic sets to deal with uncertainty and 
vague information. Three experts are invited to evaluate the criteria and alternatives. 
Case study with an empirical example with nine criteria and nine alternatives is 
conducted. The results show the Accessibility and Enrollment Rates criterion has the 
highest rate and the criterion Financial and Resource Management has the lowest rate. 
The sensitivity analysis is conducted to show the different criteria weights and rank of 
alternatives.
