DESIGN OF DECISIONMAKING SYSTEM FOR SELECTING HIGH-PERFORMANCE TEACHERS BASED ON PERFORMANCE USING TOPSIS ALGORITHM

Abstract

SMK Negeri 3 Padang currently has 17 teachers. Based on interviews with one of the teachers at SMK Negeri 3 Padang, it was found that there is currently no system in place for selecting the best teacher at the school. This study aims to design a decision support system based on the TOPSIS algorithm to assist SMK Negeri 3 Padang in objectively and accurately selecting the best teacher. This research is expected to provide benefits in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of decision-making related to the selection of the best teacher at SMK Negeri 3 Padang. The system is also expected to enhance the quality of education and the learning experience of students as well as contribute to improving the overall standards of vocational secondary education.  How to design a Decision Support System (DSS) for outstanding teacher selection based on performance that is valid, practical, and effective using the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) algorithm. The TOPSIS method has proven effective in assisting the decision-making process for assessing and determining the best teachers based on objective and measurable criteria. The criteria used in evaluating teacher performance include important aspects such as pedagogical competence, professional competence, discipline, innovation in teaching, attendance, and participation in school activities. The TOPSIS calculation process, which involves normalization, weighting, determining positive and negative ideal solutions, and calculating relative closeness, enables transparent and fair final results.
