Abstract :
The purpose of this study is “to design a model for evaluating the performance of educational centers of one of the government organizations in the country using artificial neural network”. This is an evaluation study to evaluate the performance of public organizational educational centers. The information required for this research was collected through parallel information channels such as using the documents of educational centers under the organization and referring to their documents while maintaining the classification level. The statistical population of this study was five educational centers, one of the government organizations that hold educational courses for about 10 thousand personnel between 2013 and 2020; Based on the opinion of experts and the results of related studies, the inputs and outputs of the research were selected and determined. In order to reduce the input and output variables, the structural equation modeling method - partial least squares were used. In order to train the MLP bilayer neural network, the training method was used. After the teaching of neural network. The performance of neural network was examined through test patterns. The value (mean square error) of the MSE corresponds to 13 equal test patterns and 74/7413, which indicated the high accuracy of the trained network. Finally, the performance of the educational centers was ranked based on the analyzed data.
