Efficiency evaluation of an Internet Plus University Student Affairs System based on fuzzy theory and the analytic hierarchy process

Abstract

Internet Plus now has been widely applied to various societal aspects and areas of human life in China, including higher education. Student affairs management is necessary for the successful implementation of higher education management. The quality and overall standards of higher education management could be further enhanced through the integration of student affairs management with the Internet. Chinese colleges have already begun to promote the implementation of Internet Plus student affairs systems. Therefore, a set of universal and effective evaluation index mechanism for the comprehensive evaluation of the system efficiency of these applications could be used as valuable references for the further implementation of higher education management in China. In this article, a comprehensive evaluation model for the system efficiency of an Internet Plus student affairs system based on the universal behavior characteristics of Chinese school counsellors and students is developed using fuzzy mathematics and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Furthermore, the efficacy of the proposed evaluation model is verified using data collected from the Micro-Campus Information System at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law.
