Research on teaching quality evaluation of Chinese medicine specialty in higher vocational colleges with probabilistic uncertain linguistic TODIM-VIKOR method

Abstract

Traditional Chinese medicine is a complex discipline that needs to combine theory with practice under the background of the magnificent Chinese history and civilization. It is a subject that needs “lifelong” learning. Teachers should gradually change the dull and rigid teaching mode in the past and explore a scientific and effective teaching mode that conforms to the background of the current era. Applying the advantages of the Internet to organically integrate teaching modes such as flipped classroom, which can stimulate students’ learning interest, cultivate students’ thinking mode of traditional Chinese medicine and clinical problem-solving ability, and realize the common development of students’ ability and quality of traditional Chinese medicine. While improving the teaching effect of internal medicine of traditional Chinese medicine, this diversified teaching method will provide new ideas and methods for deepening the reform of traditional Chinese medicine teaching and lead the teaching of traditional Chinese medicine to a new level. The teaching quality evaluation of Chinese medicine specialty in higher vocational colleges is classical multiple-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) issues. Recently, the TODIM and VIKOR method has been used to solve MAGDM issues. The probabilistic uncertain linguistic term sets (PULTSs) are used as a tool for characterizing uncertain information during the teaching quality evaluation of Chinese medicine specialty in higher vocational colleges. In this manuscript, we design the TODIM-VIKOR model to solve the MAGDM under PULTSs. In the end, a numerical case study for teaching quality evaluation of Chinese medicine specialty in higher vocational colleges is given to validate the proposed method.
