Design of analytical hierarchy process (AHP) for teaching and learning

This paper presents the design of analytical hierarchy process for teaching and learning in Institutional of Higher Learning (IHL). Determining the appropriate teaching and learning tool is an essential decision in education system. There are many teaching and learning tools have been developed to assist lecturers for teaching and delivering materials in the class. The appropriate use of tools is important that allows interaction between lecturers and students. Therefore, the appropriate tool in teaching and learning must be determined and the method than can be employed is analytical hierarchy process (AHP). In order to illustrate the application of AHP, there are 5 main factors and 15 sub-factors that determine the decision of tools. In this study, there were 4 decision options were considered namely u-learn system, BlogSpot, Facebook and email. The results showed that U-learn approach is the most appropriate tool as it has the highest value (36.4%) among the other tools. Thus, this paper presents the design of analytical hierarchy process as a methodology for selecting the appropriate teaching and learning tools.
