Decision support system for selecting outstanding students using simple addictive weighting (SAW) and rank order centroid (ROC) methods
Main Article Content
Abstract
Selecting outstanding students is essential in fostering appreciation and motivation within the school environment. Nevertheless, many educational institutions continue to use manual assessment methods, which are often subjective and inefficient. This research focuses on the development of a web-based decision support system designed to assist in the selection process at a in Indonesia. The system integrates the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) technique to generate student rankings based on preference scores, while the Rank Order Centroid (ROC) method is applied to assign weight values to the evaluation criteria, including academic performance, attendance, behavior, and extracurricular involvement. Data for this study were collected through interviews, direct observation, and student records. The application was developed using PHP for the backend, MySQL for database handling, and Bootstrap for the user interface design. The system’s functionality was verified using black box testing, which confirmed that all features operated correctly. Additionally, the system was evaluated against the manual selection process conducted by the school, and the results showed an accuracy level of 80% in matching student rankings. This system proves to be a practical and structured solution for enhancing the transparency and objectivity of student achievement evaluations.
