Determination of Learning Media in Elementary School using Multi-Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis Method

摘要

In the learning process, learning media serves to improve the quality of the teaching and learning process. However, so far the determination of learning media in a class has not paid attention to several aspects, namely ease in getting media, characteristics of students to the type of media, learning time in the use of media, as well as funds needed to obtain media. This study aims to assist teachers in determining the optimal learning media based on student learning styles, as well as using the Multi-Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method in the optimization process. Determination of student learning styles is determined through filling questionnaires by students in the system that has been given a knowledge base and rules for determining learning styles. The MOORA method is used as a multi-objective system that optimizes several conflicting attributes simultaneously. The attributes needed in the optimization process in determining learning media are the ease of getting the media and student learning styles as the attributes to be maximized, as well as the time and funds required as the attributes to be minimized. The experimental result demonstrates that as much as 0.0859% for the assessment of each student experiencing a discrepancy because several factors can affect the acquisition of student learning outcomes, namely internal, external, and learning approaches. Besides, the assessment of the grade average shows a mismatch of 0.25%, because the system uses several criteria so that it does not only focus on the assessment criteria.
