abstract:
The study is dedicated to the problem of multi-objective and multi-agent decision for the integration of the new generations in a multi-ethnic scholastic environment, that can favour cohesion in a multi-ethnic and culturally heterogeneous society.
For this purpose a case study is presented. In the research AHP procedures are applied to multi-objective and multi-agent decisions. Through AHP the alternatives were ranked, that is to say their alignment, in order of importance, or preference, on the basis of evaluation (Saaty, 1980; Saaty & Peniwati, 2007).
We move from the definition of the general objective (GO) of the analysis “Integration in multi-ethnic scholastic environment”. Such general objective (GO) is divided into two particular objectives: O1 = social relations; O2 = scholastic success. Besides, the sub-objectives O1 and O2 have been defined through the following criteria: C1 = interaction and relations in class with peers; C2 = relations in the extra-curricular time; C3 = relations with the belonging environment; C4 = interaction and relations in class with teachers; C5 = linguistic-expressive abilities; C6 = logic-mathematical abilities; C6 = group abilities; C7 = group abilities; C8 = manual skills; C9 = sport skills.
The alternatives considered are the actions A1=Promote assimilation; A2= Promote multiculturalism; A3= Promote interculturalism ; A4= Let the present situation without changing anything.
