Neutrosophic Z-Number for Measuring Teaching Effectiveness in Ideological and Political Education: A University-Level Study based on Student Perception

The effectiveness of ideological and political education in universities plays a crucial role in shaping students' values, critical thinking skills, and civic awareness. As student perceptions become increasingly important in evaluating teaching methodologies, understanding how various pedagogical strategies impact learning outcomes is essential. This study aims to develop a comprehensive framework for measuring teaching effectiveness in ideological and political education by incorporating student feedback and perception-based assessment models. By integrating qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods, this research examines key teaching factors, such as engagement, curriculum relevance, instructor responsiveness, and technology usage. Neutrosophic Z-Number (NZN) is used in this study to deal with uncertainty in the evaluation process. We use two methods, BWM to compute the criteria weights and the RAM method to rank the alternatives. We show the case study with eight criteria and eleven alternatives.
