An Application of Multi Criteria Decision Making: Ranking of School Success

Decision making is the action of choosing between two or more options. Multicriteria decision making is a well-known concept that aims to select the best solution among several alternatives in decision making. For this paper have been benefitted from similarity measure for intuitionistic fuzzy sets in multi criteria decision making problem. This application is a method that gives very important and rational results in decision making. In this paper; success ranking of schools has been researched in multi criteria decision making. The aim of this study is to propose an application multi criteria decision making in intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Also from year to year ranking of school success has been determined with multi criteria decision making. Annual change of success of each school has been investigated. This paper is the first research that evaluates with application and offers suggestions in education. This application has been implemented for the first time in Turkey to achieve more consistent and better results. This study is not an educational research, only is an application made in the field of intuitionistic fuzzy logic.
