Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making and Plithogenic Sets-Based TOPSIS Framework for 'Dual-Qualified' Teachers Quality Evaluation in the Context of High-Quality Development of Vocational Education

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.
