Offset-Neutrosophic Upside-Down Assessment Model (ON-UAM): A New Way to Measure the Performance of Basic Education Informatization

Abstract

In many countries, the performance of basic education informatization is 
measured using traditional methods that assume data is always correct, clear, and 
balanced. However, in reality, performance reports are often uncertain, exaggerated, or 
even misleading. This paper introduces a new model called ON-UAM (Offset
Neutrosophic Upside-Down Assessment Model) that helps measure education 
informatization more accurately. This model combines three unique ideas: (1) 
Neutrosophic Offsets, which allow values beyond the normal [0, 1] range to include 
overperformance and underperformance; (2) Upside-Down Logic, which helps detect and 
adjust misleading or biased reports; and (3) N-norm and N-conorm operations, which 
combine different performance indicators using logic that accounts for uncertainty and 
contradiction. We present mathematical equations and real examples that show how ON
UAM can evaluate informatization more realistically, even when data is unclear or 
manipulated. This method can help governments, schools, and researchers make better 
decisions based on more honest and flexible assessments.
