Abstract

Teacher certification is a process of improving the quality and competency testing of educators regulated by the government through ministry of education. the education office, which it provides teacher certificates that have been declared to meet professional standards. Furthemore, teacher certification is also an effort of the government to improve the quality of teachers along with improving teacher welfare. Many teachers considered and complained that the certification process was not transparent. Assumed that there are unclear procedures in the selection process. As for those who stated that there were certification candidate participants who did not meet the specified criteria but they were able to take part in the teacher certification selection proces. It would not happen if the assessment is carried out using an effective method in selecting teacher certification participants. So, a decision support system using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) is need to help decision making and avoid mistakes or errors of many criteria and alternatives.
