The National Taiwan Science Education Center has been hosting the National Primary and High School Science Fair since 1960, with the main objective of engaging students in the process of various research activities. In response to the demand of diversified admission program in the recent years, public attention has been turned towards the fairness of science fair reviews. In the past, grading at science fairs has been done according to percentages of the evaluated items and the sum has been used to sort out the ranking. Although this method is simple and convenient, it lacks consideration of some standards and weights. In addition, factors such as the reviewer’s personal background and reviewing habits could result in personal objective reviewing when grades are determined.
For this reason, this work introduces fuzzy theory, and attempts to utilize a Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchical Process for the evaluation method for the descriptive booklets of the 2009 school science fair creations from a primary school in Taipei. This research applies the fuzzy theory to construct the relative weights of the norms for evaluating the various hierarchies in order to incorporate every reviewer’s perception. In addition, the Fuzzy Linguistic Variable method is then applied to eliminate single reviewer’s objective perceptions and to determine the best work. The results from this method and those from the conventional grading method have been compared. It is shown that the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process is capable of incorporating all the proposed concepts with tolerance to partial unique opinions and this allows the reviewing result to be even more subjective and rational.
