AB  - The teaching quality evaluation of physical education is an important measure to 
      promote the professional development of physical teachers, improve the quality of 
      school teaching and personnel training. It is helpful for students to achieve 
      all-round development and better meet the needs of modern talents in the new era. 
      This study aims to establish a novel MCDM (multi-criteria decision-making) 
      framework for evaluating teaching quality of physical education. First, PFNs 
      (picture fuzzy numbers) are suggested to reflect dissimilar attitudes or 
      preferences of decision makers. Then, the typical SWARA (Step-wise Weight 
      Assessment Ratio Analysis) model is modified with PFNs to calculate the weights 
      of evaluation criteria. Considering that some criteria are non-compensatory 
      during the evaluation process, the idea of ELECTRE (elimination and choice 
      translating reality) is introduced to obtain the ranking results of alternatives. 
      Specially, the MAIRCA (Multi-Attribute Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis) method is 
      extended to construct the difference matrix in a picture fuzzy environment. Last, 
      the hybrid MCDM model is utilized to assess the teaching quality of physical 
      education. Its superiority is justified through comparison analyses. Results show 
      that our approach is practicable and can provide instructions for the teaching 
      quality evaluation of physical education.
