Abstract

Every student encounters some kind of obstacle in their education life, and they need some tools that help them to take correct decision. They need extra support for selecting specific interests during their university education. This kind of support increases their success. As known, decision-making tools help managers, from business or academic environment, to take better decision in their professional life. Especially, those tools are necessary to solve semi-structured problems. AHP and TOPSIS are two very popular multi criteria decision-making methods and these methods help users to solve their decision problems via some complex methods or methodologies. In this study, computer-based decision-making process is designed for students who want to determine which course content is appropriate for them regarding academic expectation (plan). Senior lecturers’ experiences are used to choose specific decision points for each chosen contents. A specific course is chosen which helps students to improve their academic knowledge for business or academic life. Every content in the course is expressed as a decision point. Numerical density, verbal density, and reachability of resource compose decision parameters. Variable values of decision parameters are determined by the senior lecturers of the course. The decision points that are chosen by the students are used in the AHP and TOPSIS process as inputs. The system solves the problem with two methods and gives two results as a best choice and worst choice for student. Also, the system recommends to them some information about which educators are interested in the best choice content and some educational materials such as e-book, pdf, or some Internet resource (Wikipedia, YouTube, etc.).
