General Satisfaction in Chemical and Biological Engineering Courses: What Matters? : A students’ perception study

摘要: This study was developed in a partnership of five Higher Education Institutions (HEI): three Portuguese and two Brazilian (hereinafter identified as A, B, C, D E, respectively). The included questionnaire distributed answered on voluntary basis by students Chemical Biological Engineering courses. aimed to identify analyse the determinant factors students’ satisfaction their courses covering aspects like educational social university life. According main goal present - assess level concerning six vectors: teacher role, student-teacher interaction, learning assessment, course organization, working conditions, academic environment only some collected data were analysed. Correlations tested items considered most important general with course. analysis performed for pointed out that there are significant differences between HEI, indicating should be made considering each HEI separately. Nevertheless, average, degree satisfaction’ agreement higher than 3.2 all (Lickert scale: 1-strongly disagree 5-strongly agree). Also, those shows they do not have same pattern. In one stands highest average score, however, specific this institution showed similar behaviour others. Students’ referred vectors show statistically positive relationship. teachers’ attitude, general, reflects interaction students, highlighting effect attitude performance.
