Purpose: This article seeks to provide a flexible structure for the learning organization tailored to the conditions of Iranian schools. Using this structure, schools, as an educational organization, facilitate innovation and effectiveness in the face of an ever-changing environment. Also, teaching human values and principles of education help students become people who live in a healthy and civilized way in a world rich in future technologies.Methodology: This paper uses multi-criteria decision-making methods and fuzzy techniques such as fuzzy Delphi and DEMATEL and ANP techniques to provide an executive and operational framework in school learning organizations.Findings: The results show the structures of the learning organization, the skills of the learning organization, and the technologies of the learning organization as the main criteria of the learning organization in Iranian schools, respectively. Also, reinforcing leadership sub-criteria, knowledge management technology, personal abilities, and subjective models with the nature of cause play a crucial role in forming learning organizations in schools.Originality/Value: Researchers have identified the way for Iran to achieve the economic goals envisaged in the Iran Vision 2025 document, the transformation of Iranian organizations into learning organizations. However, the study of databases such as Irandak, scientific information of Jihad Daneshgahi, and the citation database of sciences of the Islamic world shows that limited efforts have been made in this direction, especially in schools in Iran. Without focusing on why and what the learning organization is, this article, using the dimensions and criteria introduced for the learning organization, points out how to provide a flexible structure for the learning organization appropriate to the conditions of Iranian schools.

Purpose: Provide a way to consider the validity of the opinions of each expert in the COPRAS multi-criteria group decision-making process using the concepts of type 2 interval and punctual fuzzy sets.Methodology: The proposed method uses general (punctual) type 2 fuzzy numbers to express the values of the experts' options, as the confidence degree noted by the secondary membership degrees. The analyst uses the resulting decision matrix and calculates the overall confidence level using the criteria' alternatives scores. The proposed approach obtains a balanced weight matrix by multiplying the scores of each criterion and its weight. The model calculates the credibility of the superiority of each alternative, finds the final alternative utility, and finally selects the optimal solution.Findings: The numerical example results show that the proposed method improves the Coopers fuzzy multi-criteria group decision problem using punctual type 2 fuzzy sets.Originality/Value: The use of punctual type 2 fuzzy sets to express the validity of each expert's opinion from the researcher's point of view, in addition to flexibility, also increases the quality of the response.
