In this study, BASE is used to estimate the factor structures and determine the levels of academic self-esteem of the student. The current practice of the existing system using BASE scale may be scored by hand or by computer based on the rigid crisp values to represent rating number one through five. Since BASE requires the ability for estimating the factor structure and also the ability to explain how the conclusion is derived, therefore artificial intelligent techniques that are required to perform BASE must be able to perform estimation and provide reasoning. For this purpose, fuzzy logic and expert system have been integrated in a web-based environment to demonstrate the use of hybrid system on BASE factor structure and levels of academic self-esteem. For each BASE factor, the sub score is provided based on the classificati...
