A Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach for Teaching Quality Evaluation in University Music Programs Using Plithogenic Sets and Weighted Decision Models

Abstract

Chinese colleges and universities have been studying and implementing 
quality monitoring systems for music art instruction as a key teaching management 
project. How to fairly and impartially evaluate the teaching skills of professors of art and 
music is a crucial problem in college and university administration. Evaluation of 
university music program have various criteria affecting the decision-making process. So, 
we used the multi-criteria decision-making methodology (MCDM) to deal with these 
criteria and select best program. We used the Plithogenic sets with the MCDM 
methodology to deal with uncertainty information. We used the operators of Plithogenic 
to combine the Plithogenic numbers. We use the weighted product model (WPM) to rank 
the alternatives. The weights of criteria are computed using the normalized crips values. 
The results show the Musical Performance Proficiency of Teachers criterion has the 
highest rate and Engagement with Music Industry and Professional Development 
criterion has the lowest rate. We compare the proposed methodology with other MCDM 
methods. The results show the proposed methodology is effective.
