“…On the other hand, studies stating that the use of technology-supported applications in different stages of teaching, including assessment, promoted the process, also supported the results of these studies (Hew & Brush, 2007;Bofill, 2013). As far as this point of view is concerned, it is crucially significant to utilize the technology (Fu et al, 2022) that supports the individuals to experience new information effectively and in accordance with the projected target at every stage of the education process.…”

“…In this context, it is considered essential to carry out music education, which is thought to play an important role as an educational factor in the lives of the society as well as the individuals in this society and which contributes significantly to the development of the individual's aesthetic taste and cultural level, with a well-organized program that includes today's technologies. With the advancing technology, it is commonly recognized that technology is incorporated within the music education processes at all levels from pre-school all the way to university level (Burak & Çörekçi, 2021;Shi, 2021;Fu et al, 2022); the studies demonstrate that the use of information technologies in music education contributes significantly to the educational process and makes learning environments more colorful (Beşer, 2010;Nart, 2016;Çevik & Alkan, 2012;Talan, 2020;Zhao, 2022). With the constructivist approach of today's education conception, the popularity of incorporating technology within the education process continues to increase, especially within the framework of global changes and technological developments (Qureshi et al, 2020;Zengin et al, 2018).…”

Introduction: In our current century, technology continues to exist in almost all domains of human life. In this day and age, technological changes and developments make a great contribution to the rapid production of information and easy access to it. As a result of rapidly developing and changing needs, it is considered essential to organize education in line with these needs and to incorporate technology within the education system. In the present study, it was aimed to identify the use of technology supported educational tools in general music education and their contribution to the process of music education. Methods: The convergent parallel design, which is one of the mixed research methods, was used in this study. Based on this particular point in mind, it was attempted in this study to establish the opinions of music teachers about the level of use of technology-supported educational tools in general music education through both closed-ended and open-ended questions. In this study, homogeneous sampling was used and it was attempted to reach out the teachers who taught general music knowledge in Turkey. The study group of the research was formed with 59 music teachers teaching at different institutions who agreed to participate in the study on a voluntary basis. Results: In line with the data obtained, it was concluded that teachers found themselves partially sufficient and willing to improve themselves in terms of using the technology-supported educational materials more effectively and efficiently in the process. Discussion: From the results of the research, it is seen that technology-supported applications are used especially in the listening and expression stages of the teacher, and it is preferred in the sampling, song teaching and showing and telling stages. In addition, it was determined that these applications were used by only 1 participant during the evaluation phase. It has been determined that technology-supported applications contribute positively to learning speed, permanent learning and the realization of more effective lessons. Throughout the music education process, which includes abstract concepts, the students' acquisition of the knowledge and making sense of this knowledge will contribute positively to their academic success. It is believed that it is essential to draw students' attention and include them effectively within the education process by getting them to gain new experiences. In this sense, it is crucially significant that teachers have the competence to use different applications in today's age of technology. Limitations: The research was limited to 59 music teachers who voluntarily agreed to work during the data collection process. The research was carried out in the spring term of the 2020-2021 academic year. Conclusions: In accordance with the findings obtained from the study, it was found that the participants utilized the technology-supported teaching tools especially in listening and lecturing, and they did not use these tools throughout the process. It was revealed that these tools had positive effects such as increasing students’ attention and contributing to their permanent learning, as well as negative effects such as the tendency (to expect everything to be handed to one on a silver plate) and reducing the teacher's remedial role.

“…In the educational field, the application of AHP was expanded by several researchers, including Han [18], who has employed AHP to evaluate the teachers quality in universities; Arora et al [19] adopted Fuzzy AHP to prioritize the sustainability drivers based on the skills, competence, and workbased learning in the higher education system; Muhammad et al [20] engaged Delphi and AHP in investigating factors affecting academic integrity in Saudi Arabian Universities e-Learning; Yuan and Li [21] exploited artificial neural network back propagation integrated with AHP in suggesting the college quality evaluation results; Fu et al [22] integrated AHP and TOPSIS to identify the appropriate utilization of Information Technology (IT) approaches for music learning by considering the various features offered in existing IT applications. Dixit et al [23] integrated AHP and TOPSIS to analyze the competency development for women's communities as edu-preneurs; Rahman et al [24] implemented AHP-TOPSIS to figure out IT components in a dual education system (education and work need integration system) for the student job training.…”

The study program selection in several high schools or madrasah aliyah (MA) in Riau province is conducted manually. The initial survey found that the study program is commonly chosen by following the friend’s preference and parents’ option instead of their knowledge capability and desire. As a reflection, many students fail to adhere to the school subjects, obtain unsatisfactory results, and even change their study program. Therefore, this paper aims to assist students in altering the appropriate study program by considering students' capabilities, talents and interests by developing a multi-criteria decision support system (DSS). This DSS employs the integrated AHP approach for criteria weighting and TOPSIS for ranking alternatives. Herein, seventy students' data from grade ten MAN 2 Kuantan Singingi grows into this case study. The automation system analysis is executed through the web base DSS system using PHP programming language and MySQL database. As a result, AHP calculates the significance values of the criterion whereby the student interest score values at 0.34, academic report, potential academic test, physiological test, Pre-Test/Post-Test, interview scores, and teacher recommendation scores at 0.21, 0.14, 0.11, 0.09, 0.06, and 0.05, respectively. Subsequently, TOPSIS ranks the students according to the assessment and criteria weighting based on the standard requirement of study program in Mathematics and Science program (MIPA) and Social Science program (IIS). The DSS study program selection application has been tested using the Blackbox and User Acceptance Test (UAT) methods. Both of these approaches indicate that this application is functionally approved and capable of aiding the users in the optimal study program selection, with 81.9% agreement. In a nutshell, this DSS has successfully recommended the optimum study program per the students’ talents, interests, and capabilities and provided the direction development of students’ expertise area for the next level of education.
