Abstract

The problem of examination malpractices has persisted in many primary and secondary schools in Zambia for a decade now. Records show that there has been an annual recurrence of examination malpractices for the period 2008 to 2018. In 2018, the initial examination papers for Grades 9 and 12 had to be canceled and new ones set after the examination papers were leaked on social media. These malpractices reported in the last decade have the potential to negatively affect the quality of graduates from the concerned schools. It may further cast doubt on the validity and reliability of the certificates conferred. To a wider extent, examination malpractices have the potential to lead to cultural decay, increased criminality, social injustices and corruption in society. The driving factors to malpractices have been identified as macro and micro in nature. The study introduces a new model coined the 13-selfs model. Using the introduced model, the study proposes solutions to the internal factors. With this new model it is possible to nurture a student with higher confidence and integrity leading to the elimination of malpractices. The thirteen elements of the 13-Selfs model are self-confidence, self-esteem, self-motivation, self-determination, self-organization, self-equipped, self-sustenance, self-conviction, self-efficacy, self-assurance, self-sufficiency, self-control, self-defense. The proposed solutions to the macro factors include the use of modern technology such as drones to secure and deliver examination materials on the day of examination. The use of micro-chipped examination papers has also been proposed to monitor in real time the location and conditions of materials.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide case study on website evaluation and ranking by fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP). Many people have misconception about website evaluation and ranking mistaking good design and user interface alone as high ranking. To measure the website quality, various factors are taken into consideration. The quality metrics that are considered for evaluating website are accessibility, performance, usability, search engine optimization (SEO), website visibility, security, technology and design used for developing website. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) breaks down complexity into simple hierarchical decision making methods. Fuzzy AHP is a multi-purpose judgement technique which is often used to guide website creation and can further be used to find out website ranking. This approach tells the ranking of website based on multiple conflicting criteria of the website. But all these parameters and metrics considered are qualitative and not measurable which is slight challenging to deal with traditional theory. The drawbacks of AHP is eliminated by use of FAHP. Here, fuzzy decision matrix is constructed by using multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approach and final weight is calculated of each website based on their qualities.
