THE IMPORTANCE OF FUZZY LOGIC IN SCIENCE EDUCATION

Abstract

This study examines the role of the fuzzy logic approach in educational sciences, with a particular focus on science education. The research was conducted using document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, through a systematic review of national and international literature. Findings indicate that fuzzy logic provides more flexible, fair, objective, and realistic outcomes compared to traditional assessment methods. Furthermore, its ability to address individual differences, reduce misconceptions, account for uncertainties, and support multi-criteria evaluations highlights its potential as a valuable tool in science education. Advances in educational technologies have also facilitated the   integration of fuzzy logic into intelligent tutoring systems and performance analysis, offering more effective learning environments. In conclusion, fuzzy logic aligns closely with the core principles of science education—sensitivity to individual differences, flexibility, and real-life applicability—while supporting students’ learning experiences in a more inclusive and authentic manner.
