Implementación de métodos para la toma de decisiones multi-criterio en Diviz para evaluar el uso de herramientas en el EVA Moodle.

Abstract

The main purpose of the current graduation work was the implementation of Diviz Multi-Criterion Decision-Making methods in order to evaluate the use of tools on a virtual learning environment (EVA) and a Modular Objective Oriented Dynamic learning Environment (MOODLE). For this, it was necessary to carry out a descriptive and correlational study to let people know about the tools that are mostly used in the Teaching-Learning process between professors and students at the Informatics and Electronics Faculty of ESPOCH. For the implementation, it was necessary to use Multi-criterion supporting systems in order to evaluate the MOODLE tools which are mostly used, such as tasks, chats, interviews, forums, lessons, glossaries, books, labels, questionnaires, materials and workshops. This was carried out using multi-criteria interchange methods for the decision making (MCDA), an Ordered Weighted Average Operator (OWA), a Linguistic Operator of Weighted Average (LOWA), an Unbalanced linguistic Operator of Weighted Average (ULOWA). For the implementation of the methods, it was necessary to use Diviz tool for the design, enforcement and interchange of MCDA. The results after the analysis of the compiled information and the production of the Multi-criterion methods were that the mostly used tools are the tasks, lessons, and chats. As learning interchange pedagogical strategies it was possible to identify the strengths offered by the tools in the different daily activities professors and students carry out. It is recommended to use the other tools provided by MOODLE for the pedagogical interchange between professors and students.
