Integrating Fuzzy Decision-Making Model for eteachin Adoption for the Education Sector

Abstract— The COVID-19 pandemic has altered educational ideologies all over the world. The educational system has shifted drastically away from traditional teaching methods to online teaching mechanisms. Nowadays, e-teaching is rapidly developing as a part of education for social advancement and wellness care. There are numerous factors influencing the adoption of e-teaching in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence adoption in the education sector. We investigate the factors from the systematic literature in order to develop a new decision-making model. Therefore, we have adopted an integrated fuzzy approach with Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Fuzzy Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS), to reveal the interrelationships between the factors and determine their relative importance in the decision-making model. The findings of this study will allow relevant parties in the education sector to potentially assign development or quality of education in developing countries.

Index Terms— e-teaching, e-teaching adoption, DEMATEL, fuzzy TOPSIS, decision-making model.
