TLDR
The results find that TOPSIS is able to use a set of criteria to help students systematically and rigorously choose a suitable course of study.Abstract:
During course selection, students have to consider many criteria to arrive at the best course to study at the institution that provides the best fit for their aspirations. However, a central issue that reduces the clarity of course consideration and results in suboptimal decisions is the failure of introspection. While people can usually describe the information they have considered to arrive at a decision for a specified outcome, they can rarely articulate the process they used to make the decision. Thus, this paper proposes the use of multi-criteria decision making approach and tests a model using the TOPSIS approach to tackle the processes associated with introspection. The results find that TOPSIS is able to use a set of criteria to help students systematically and rigorously choose a suitable course of study. This research is useful for potential tertiary students, education providers, education agencies and recruitment officers.read more

TL;DR: A novel extension of the TOPSIS method adapted for the use of single-valued neutrosophic sets was considered, and can be used to express accuracy, inaccuracy, and indeterminacy during the evaluation of alternatives in multiple-criteria DM.

Gaussian-based hybrid approach to Entropy for analyzing energy efficiency of emerging economies
TL;DR: It is stated that Russia and Brazil are the most successful countries in energy efficiency whereas India and Turkey are in the last places and these issues can be helpful to minimize the costs of energy usage for these countries.

Application of fuzzy TOPSIS for the prioritization of students' requirements in higher education institutions: a case study : A multi-criteria decision making approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered students as stakeholders who are experiencing the service of the education system and proposed a fuzzy TOPSIS approach to prioritize the items of each dimension by considering the vagueness in the responses received from the students of a higher education institution.

An MCDM-based game-theoretic approach for strategy selection in higher education
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a framework for universities and governments to select strategies by considering the strategic interactions, which can be used by the policymakers in the higher education area, both by the central planners (usually the government) and the universities.

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.

Telling more than we can know: Verbal reports on mental processes.
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that people are sometimes unaware of the existence of a stimulus that influenced a response, unaware of its existence, and unaware that the stimulus has affected the response.

The Role of the Medial Frontal Cortex in Cognitive Control.
TL;DR: New findings in cognitive neuroscience concerning cortical interactions that subserve the recruitment and implementation of cognitive control are evaluated, suggesting that monitoring-related pMFC activity serves as a signal that engages regulatory processes in the LPFC to implement performance adjustments.

Methods for Multiple Attribute Decision Making
Ching-Lai Hwang,Kwangsun Yoon +1 more
TL;DR: There are some classical decision rules such as dominance, maximin and maximum which are still fit for the MADM environment but they do not require the DM’s preference information, and accordingly yield the objective (vs. subjective) solution.
