Abstract

In this paper, we present a new approach for evaluating students' answerscripts based on the similarity measure between interval-valued fuzzy sets. The marks awarded to the answers in the students' answerscripts are represented by interval-valued fuzzy sets, where each element in the universe of discourse belonging to an interval-valued fuzzy set is represented by an interval between zero and one. An index of optimism λ determined by the evaluator is used to indicate the degree of optimism of the evaluator, where λ∈ [0, 1]. The proposed approach using interval-valued fuzzy sets for evaluating students' answerscripts can evaluate students' answerscripts in a more flexible and more intelligent manner.
