Decision Support System for Determining the Best School Extracurricular Activities by Combining the ROC and MAUT Methods

Abstract

The various extracurricular activities at school make students confused and difficult to choose which extracurricular activities are more suitable for participation. However, sometimes there are also students choosing extracurricular activities based on many of their friends. Therefore, determining the best school extracurricular activities is the best solution for students as a reference to find which is the best extracurricular activity. The criteria used in this study in choosing the best extracurricular activities are Regional Event Activities, Allocation, Creativity and Talent Channeling. By utilizing SPK, decision makers can make more systematic decisions, based on a deeper understanding of the various alternatives available and relevant criteria. SPK or decision support system is a technique that has the ability to determine a decision using a technical design based on alternatives and predetermined criteria. SPK or decision support system is a technique that has the ability to determine a decision using a technical design based on alternatives and predetermined criteria. In the context of extracurricular school selection, combining the ROC (Rank Order Centroid) and MAUT (Multi-Attribute Utility Theory) methods in a Decision Support System is an interesting approach. The ROC method is used to cluster and rank schools based on certain criteria, while MAUT helps in the calculation of appropriate weights for these criteria. By integrating these two methods, the SPK can provide a more structured guideline in the selection of extracurricular activities that suit students' interests and needs. The research results obtained show that the Futsal alternative is the first recommendation as the best extracurricular with a final value of 0.655086.
