Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Methods For Evaluation of Teacher Quality

Abstract

Generally, if there are several complex criteria, constraints will occur in decision making. The decision making process faces the priority of several alternatives. Sometimes, decision making occurs using mere subjective values. This is not supposed to happen in determining teacher’s quality. Based on Indonesian Law No. 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers, it is stated that the intended teacher competencies are pedagogic competence, personality competence, social competence, and professional competence. These four criteria are the basic criteria for determining teacher’s quality. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is one of the methods in the Multi Criteria Decision Method (MCDM) which can provide solutions to support decision makers to determine the quality of teachers to be assessed. The results of this study are in the form of an application to determine the quality of teachers based on the ratings assessed from the four criteria with 19 sub criteria. Based on the experimental results, the criteria used for consistency of weighted priority level analysis were found to be consistent and the best quality of teacher based on all available alternatives. So the results of alternative rankings can be used as basic guidelines to help decision making
