Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Due to the increasing complexity of educational data, the use of decision analysis techniques such as Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) models has become more popular in the education system in recent years. Multi-criteria decision-making methods provide faster and more efficient data analysis techniques for revealing hidden patterns and other meaningful information from vast educational data that conventional analytics are unable to discover in a reasonable amount of time. Particularly, MCDM techniques have been demonstrated to be effective methods for pattern recognition in educational systems. Motivated by this consideration, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the MCDM approaches applied to education systems through a review of new architectures, applications, and educational trends. The primary objective of this paper is to provide extensive insight into the application of MCDM models to education solutions in order to bridge the gap between MCDM techniques and human-based education interpretability. Then, the application of MCDM to various aspects of education is categorized. Finally, we present the current open challenges and future directions.
