摘要:The paper deals with evaluation and ranking of students taking into
account two main criteria of the learning – theoretical knowledge and practical
skills. These criteria are divided into several sub-criteria to reflect different aspects
of the learning outcomes. To make such complex evaluation the proper utility
function based on simple multi-attribute rating technique is proposed. This new
utility function includes not only the evaluation score and weighted coefficients for
criteria importance, but considers also additional coefficients that indicate how
theoretical knowledge and practical skills will take part in the aggregated final
assessment. The formulated model is applied for the assessing of the students on web
programming. The students are ranked under three different cases where the
theoretical knowledge and practical skills take different part in the aggregated
assessment. The obtained results demonstrate the applicability of the described
approach by providing different ranking depending on the importance of the
theoretical and practical aspects.
