This study presents a novel teaching quality evaluation model based on improved interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Best-Worst method (IVIF-BWM) and interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weighted Maclaurin symmetric mean operators (IVIFWMSM). The study is divided into three parts. Firstly, to derive the optimal interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weights of criteria, we develop an improved IVIF-BWM by establishing a goal programming model based on the multiplicative consistent interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation(IVIFPR), and then we propose the new consistency index (CI) and the consistency ratio (CR) under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment to verify the reliability of the derived results. Secondly, with regard to the importance and interaction relationships among criteria, IVIFWMSM is used to aggregate evaluation values of alternatives on each evaluation criteria in multi-criteria decision making process. Finally, the proposed teaching quality evaluation model is applied to a case of teaching quality evaluation in higher education and a comparison study with other existing methods are performed. The results demonstrate that the proposed teaching quality evaluation model not only overcomes the shortcomings of previous methods, but also is more accuracy, effective and reasonable for dealing with the teaching quality evaluation under the intuitionistic fuzzy environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jifs-232272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,1]],"date-time":"2023-08-01T11:01:01Z","timestamp":1690887661000},"page":"6923-6941","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Novel evaluation model of teaching quality based on the improved IVIF-BWM and IVIFWMSM"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Youping","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chengyi College, Jimei University, Xiamen, Fujian, P.R.
