Comparison of the Distance Learning Modalities Regarding Teaching Capacities and Performances on the Learners

Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, people have distances among each other, and this situation has affected everything. Education, which has been the most important thing for humanity since the beginning of history, has also been affected. To continue and survive the system, people started using and adapting different distance learning with the help of electronic devices, internet and technology. However, the impact of these new distance learning modalities does not have the same teaching capacity and performance on the learners. Besides, evaluation of the learners, fairness, interaction, feedback, etc. are the other important problems of the new distance learning modalities. Nevertheless, to discover the effect of the distance learning modalities regarding teaching capacities and performances on the learners, they are compared in this study with an integrated fuzzy multi criteria decision making model. The proposed model consists of two parts; fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and ELECTRE methods. In the first part, weights and the decision matrix are calculated by using a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. Then, in the second part, distance learning modalities are evaluated with the application of the ELECTRE method through the decision matrix according to weights.
