APPLICATION OF THE ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OPTIMAL EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUMS FOR THE UNIVERSITIES SPECIALIZED IN ICT

Firudin T. Aghayev, Gulara A. Mammadova

The curriculum of the university is a complex system consisting of a set of logical and calendar distributed in disciplines time. The article suggests an approach to the development of educational curriculums by a group of experts. Each of them offers its own curriculum version corresponding to a set and procedure of the disciplines. The problem of selecting the most optimal educational curriculum is solved by the analytic hierarchy process. (pp. 47-54)

Keywords: educational curriculum, optimal educational curriculum, criteria for the curriculum evaluation, analytic hierarchy process, calculation of the vector of priorities.
