摘要

Every organized society relies on its educational system to maintain, reproduce, and enhance its well-being. It is widely acknowledged that educational systems are dynamic and sensitive to change, requiring continuous processes of: (a) evaluation of their current state; (b) analysis and identification of necessary changes; (c) implementation of these changes; and (d) monitoring, all taking place in a recurring, cyclical manner. Today, the evaluation of educational systems represents a transnational challenge and constitutes a major factor in ensuring the quality of education. This research article proposes a methodological framework for the evaluation of national educational systems, based on the application of a Multicriteria Decision Aid Analysis (MCDA) approach, combined with the DELPHI method. The DELPHI method is employed to ensure the involvement of experts in the field of education, while the disaggregation–aggregation MCDA method UTASoP is used to handle the multiple factors related to educational systems. The proposed methodological framework is applied to construct an additive value multicriteria model, based on a reference set of six national educational systems, which can subsequently be used for the evaluation of other national educational systems.
