Abstract
This paper presents an application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate student motivation in a university setting. The aim is to identify and prioritize factors affecting student motivation, including academic, personal, and environmental factors. The results of the AHP analysis provide insight into the relative importance of these factors and can be used to inform decisions about designing educational programs and interventions to enhance student motivation. The study demonstrates the usefulness of the AHP as a tool for addressing complex decision-making problems in education and offers a framework for future research on student motivation.
