Key Student Nodes Mining in the In-Class Social Network Based on Combined Weighted GRA-TOPSIS Method.

In this paper, a key node mining algorithm of entropy-CRITIC combined weighted GRA-TOPSIS method is proposed, which is based on the network structure features. First, the method obtained multi-dimensional data of students' identities, seating relationships, social relationships, and so on to build a database. Then, the seating similarity among students was used to construct the in-class social networks and analyze the structural characteristics of them. Finally, the CRITIC and entropy weight method was introduced for obtaining the combined weight values and the GRA-TOPSIS multi-decision fusion algorithm to mine the key student nodes that have negative impact. The experiments showed that the algorithm of this paper can evaluate students objectively based on their classroom social networks, providing technical support for process-oriented comprehensive quality education evaluation.
