Abstract (EN)

School time tabling problems are handled different structures depends on education system. Different methods are proposed to solve these problems and a general method is not available to solve every timetabling problems.In this study, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to determine which courses will be selected by students among elective courses. Firstly, criteria considered by students are determined. Students made pair-wise comparisons for these criteria and elective courses according to each criterion by using Saaty?s 1-9 scale. Ranks of elective courses are determined by using AHP.In the scope of this study, the development of a course-time slot assignment model which can be used by many Primary schools has been tried. With this purpose, moderately specific real life data?s have been adapted to the constraints. Developed model can assign courses to time slots, and to classrooms at one step. In the modeling phase, multi-objective 0?1 integer programming model is proposed. In final step, the conic scalarization method is used for combining the objective functions. The scalarized problem was solved by using Lingo 11.0 and different weights of objectives. The obtained results were given in the last section.
