Methods of multi-criteria decision making and an application in the field of mathematics education by means of analytic hierarchy process

Decision-making is an important and indispensable part of life.In today?s rapidly-changing world ,decision making problems have become more complex. Due to both the increase in the number of criteria and alternatives and the conflict among them , it has been more difficult for a decision maker to make a selection among these so-called alternatives and criteria.The enterprises which are able to make decisions both rapidly and correctly in terms of increasing competition get the edge over their rivals.The use of scientific approaches during the process of making decisions rapidly and correctly has been an inescapable necessity.This study focuses on the mathematical methods which can be used for the solution of multi-criteria decision making problems.Within the province of Yozgat, it has been aimed to detect the degree of importance of the factors which have an effect on the mathematical success of the students in the secondary stage of the primary education by means of these methods. Analytic Hierarchy Process methods to a problem which has been coincided in the field of education.
