Abstract:
This work is a proposal to identify the variables involved in the implementation of an AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) model for the decision making of future university students in choosing their university careers in the geographical area of influence of the city of Pilar. ; It was developed at the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the National University of Pilar (Republic of Paraguay) within the framework of the Master's Degree in Informatics and Computing.
In order to identify the variables and establish criteria, the preferences of all the students of the last year of the following Institutions in the city of Pilar: Juan XXIII Subsidized Private Technical School, Santo Tomás Italian Private School and Pilar Regional Education Center. The options offered in the election are the courses taken at the National University of Pilar (UNP).The work methodology was based on quantitative methods andTomás Saaty's Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used, which is a decision-making method applied in multi-agent and complex environments. The theoretical foundations of the method are presented and developed, from its beginnings with the preparation of the criteria preference matrix, the calculation of the normalized matrix and the calculation of the weighting vector; Comparison matrices by criteria are also developed with the corresponding calculation of the weights, to finally reveal the order of preferences established for the case, with the corresponding treatment of the criteria comparison matrix and the area comparison matrices. (alternatives) of each of the criteria, thus confirming the validity of the variables found. The results obtained are presented and future lines of research are formulated.
