Offset-Neutrosophic Upside-Down Assessment Model (ON-UAM): A New Way to Measure the Performance of Basic Education Informatization

In many countries, the performance of basic education informatization is measured using traditional methods that assume data is always correct, clear, and balanced. However, in reality, performance reports are often uncertain, exaggerated, or even misleading. This paper introduces a new model called ON-UAM (OffsetNeutrosophic Upside-Down Assessment Model) that helps measure education informatization more accurately. This model combines three unique ideas: (1) Neutrosophic Offsets, which allow values beyond the normal [0, 1] range to include overperformance and underperformance; (2) Upside-Down Logic, which helps detect and adjust misleading or biased reports; and (3) N-norm and N-conorm operations, which combine different performance indicators using logic that accounts for uncertainty and contradiction. We present mathematical equations and real examples that show how ONUAM can evaluate informatization more realistically, even when data is unclear or manipulated. This method can help governments, schools, and researchers make better decisions based on more honest and flexible assessments.
