Decision Support System for Assessing Teacher Performance Using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) Method at SMK XYZ

SMK XYZ is a private school under Yayasan Pembina Pendidikan Doa Bangsa (YPPDB) which was established in 2011. The school has several expertise programs, including Software Engineering, Institutional Accounting and Finance, and Motorcycle Business Engineering. Assessing the success of a school is an important thing that greatly affects the development of students in the learning process to achieve their goals. Assessment of teachers’ work should be performed using appropriate and efficient methods. To improve teacher performance, the development of an agenda monitoring and assessment system based on the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method can be an effective alternative. This system is designed to assist school management in monitoring teacher activities objectively and measurably, as well as providing clear assessments based on certain criteria such as attendance, tardiness, student evaluation results, and innovation in learning. The SAW method is used to calculate the final score of teacher performance by summing up the weighted values of each normalized criterion. In this case study, the system helps decision makers to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each teacher, so that related recommendations for competency development can be given. The implementation of this system demonstrates increased responsibility in appraisal and motivates teachers to improve their performance according to set standards.
