Priority Determination Analysis of Research Competencies in Building Engineering Preservice Teachers through the Analytical Hierarchy Process

Summary/Abstract: The objective of this research was to obtain information on the priority ranking of superior research competence criteria in pre-service teachers. This study was designed with a quantitative descriptive research design using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The AHP is a decision-making system for determining the priorities on predetermined criteria in the development of research competencies in pre-service teachers. The five main principles studied were: the skills in determining the topic and background of research, skills in developing theoretical foundations, skills in applying research methodologies, skills in discussing and concluding research results, and paper writing skills. The expert evaluated the priority weight scale for each aspect of research competence. The development of research competency stimulation on pre-service teachers will be more effective if the priority criteria are revealed. A model of stimulation based on a priority scale should be developed with AHP since the order of priority indicates which stimulation criteria should be optimized.
