A group decision-making framework using interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information for teaching effect evaluation of Japanese translation teaching course
With the rapid development of economic globalization, the political, economic and cultural exchanges between countries in the world are becoming more and more frequent, and the society's demand for Japanese professionals has greatly increased, which also puts higher demands on for college Japanese teaching, especially college Japanese translation teaching (JTT). College JTT, as the important component of the college Japanese teaching system, is affected by the traditional teaching system and model, and there are problems such as lack of teaching materials, outdated teaching approaches, unreasonable teaching curriculum settings, and single teaching implementation approaches. The teaching effect evaluation of JTT courses is multiple-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. In this work, in order to manage the MAGDM, the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number CoCoSo based on the CRITIC (IVIFN-CRITIC-CoCoSo) approach is constructed under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs). Finally, numerical example for teaching effect evaluation of JTT courses has been illustrated and some comparisons is employed to illustrate advantages of IVIFN-CRITIC-CoCoSo approach. This study illustrates four contributions: (1) a novel MAGDM approach based on IVIFN-CRITIC-CoCoSo approach is constructed under IVIFS. (2) The attributes weights are illustrated through CRITIC approach. (3) numerical example for teaching effectiveness evaluation of JTT courses has been illustrated and (4) some comparisons is illustrated advantages of IVIFN-CRITIC-CoCoSo approach.
