Summary: | This study is carried out to analyse learners' perception of effective tutors in Open
University Malaysia (OUM) based on various criterion that we have identified. We
analysed their perception using method known as Fuzzy Set of Group Decision Making
Model. This method usually conducted in a multi-criteria environment, which mostly
dependent on the subjective judgment of decision makers and is influenced by the
uncertainty and vagueness of each individual preference. The model is proven suitable for
quantifying imprecise information, reasoning and decision making based on vague data.
This study aims to provide OUM an insight look and further knowledge on the attributes
of effective tutors. It can be used as a rule of thumb when appointing external tutors.
Effective tutors are vital in enhancing and achieving the objectives of teaching and
learning process. The findings show that the proposed evaluation model allows decision
makers to express their opinions about tutors' performance by using a more realistic
qualitative and fuzzy decision making. It is a suitable tool that can assist decision makers
to better evaluate tutors in order to select suitable and effective tutors so that teaching and
learning process can takes place. (Authors' abstract) |
