Toward Educational Excellence: A Comprehensive Measuring of Ideological and Political Theory Courses in Universities using Neutrosophic Z-Rough Numbers

Abstract

: In the evolving landscape of higher education, ideological and political theory courses 
play a vital role in cultivating critical thinking, national identity, and civic responsibility among 
university students. This study develops a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework 
for evaluating the effectiveness and quality of such courses. Twelve criteria, encompassing 
pedagogical innovation, theoretical clarity, emotional resonance, and student engagement, are 
employed to assess ten selected course models. This study uses the MABAC method to rank the 
alternatives. We use the Neutrosophic Z-Rough Numbers to overcome uncertainty and vague 
information. The evaluation reveals the multifaceted dimensions that contribute to the perceived 
success of ideological education and highlights areas requiring enhancement. The results provide 
a foundation for curriculum improvement, aligning instructional delivery with contemporary 
societal values and learning needs.
