VIKOR method for intuitionistic fuzzy multi-attribute group decision-making and its application to teaching quality evaluation of college English

The results of the nation-wide public college English tests and some other English tests held by the college itself are very valuable data for the assessment of the English teaching level. In the light of the selected and processed data and some other auxiliary approaches, the writer suggests that a modernized monitoring system be established to improve English teaching quality. Under this system, teachers' and students' English level can be evaluated in an objective way. Consequently, the subsequent measures such as teachers' promotion as well as students' development and employment and the evaluation of the quality of test-papers can be taken scientifically. We can solve the above issues with help of multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) method. Depending on the VIKOR steps and given intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), this paper devises the IF-VIKOR to assess the teaching quality of college English. In addition, the weights of attribute are derived through CRITIC method. Then, the VIKOR method is extended to IFSs to derive the order of each alternative. Therefore, all alternatives could be ranked and the best one can be identified. Eventually, we give an example of college English teaching quality evaluation, according to some comparison with other methods to make an analysis, the results show that the method proposed in such paper is effective and easy to compute.
