Abstract

In this paper, the intuitionistic fuzzy PROMETHEE method is explained in detail and an original application has been made. The aim of the paper is to bring innovation to the evaluation system in the field of education by using the intuitionistic fuzzy PROMETHEE method. The advantages of using the PROMETHEE method, which is one of the many methods used in multi-criteria decision-making problems, in the intuitionistic fuzzy sense are explained in detail. Intuitionistic fuzzy PROMETHEE is a method that attracts our attention thanks to its benefits such as allowing the researcher to observe the positive and negative rankings simultaneously, expressing the degree of hesitation, changing the significance weights of the criteria, and using different methods when identifying the significance levels for each criterion, putting the degree of hesitation of significance weights into action, and enabling decision-makers, who are given the opportunity to use different criteria types and different criteria types for alternatives and criteria, to establish a unique system; moreover, the method also provides us numerous advantages while using it in our application area. It is of great importance for decision-makers to determine the specific importance level for each criterion. In this paper, controlled sets are used to express the importance of the criteria in the form of intuitionistic fuzzy values. The intuitionistic fuzzy-based PROMETHEE algorithm, aiming to contribute to the education system by examining the factors affecting the students' achievement, is a unique algorithm, and it is the first to shed light on various researchers.
