Decision Support Framework for Digital Music Integration in Education Reform Using Picture Fuzzy FUCA and Industry–Academia Collaboration

The incorporation of digital music into the reform of education has become one of the primary methods to improve educational outcomes, increase creativity, and innovate the practices in the classroom. This combination, together with the close industry–academia cooperation, presents the possibilities to integrate educational strategies in accordance with the technological and creative demands of the contemporary world. Nevertheless, uncertainty, reluctance, symmetry, and subjectivity in expert ratings are significant problems to cope with when considering multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). To resolve them, this paper suggests a Picture Fuzzy Faire Un Choix Adequat (PF-FUCA) decision support model, where fifteen options will be rated by seven criteria, depending on the contribution of four professional decision-makers. These findings indicate that the PF-FUCA framework is effective and superior to the current PF-MCDM models, as illustrated by sensitivity and comparison analysis. The identified best strategies based on the framework are blockchain-based music copyright education and integrated music–STEM platforms that, when combined, offer a viable policy instrument to policymakers, educators, and industry stakeholders.
