3 CIPES OUTLINE Student satisfaction
The role of student satisfaction getting into retention and success Research design and methodology Findings Conclusions

4 CIPES Equipping students with useful and functional learning, graduation them and retaining them is challenging higher education institutions worldwide. Theoretical conceptualization of student’s satisfaction as a multidimensional construct. Meeting students needs, stimulate and enhance their development has become a complex goal. INTRODUCTION

5 DEFINING SATISFACTION
CIPES DEFINING SATISFACTION Satisfaction, in a broad sense, could be defined as a summary, affective and variable intensity response centred on specific aspects of acquisition and/or consumption and which takes place at the precise moment when the individual evaluates the object. Giese and Cote (2000) Adapting the definition of satisfaction to students, student satisfaction is defined as a short-term attitude that results from the evaluation of their experience with the educations service they receive. (Elliot and Healy (2001) CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

6 CIPES Dimensions of satisfaction with the higher education service
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

7 CIPES Swail’s Geometric model of student persistence and achievement
THE CONCEPTUAL BASIS

8 RESEARCH DESIGN METHODOLOGY
CIPES Research Questions (1) Which institutional and student factors affect student success in Portuguese higher education institutions? (2) What is the relative level of satisfaction and importance of these factors for clarifying student success? RESEARCH DESIGN METHODOLOGY

25 CIPES Latent variables concerning the satisfaction with the Course of studies, with the Employability, the Social prestige of the course of studies and the Institution Latent variables Observed variables (standardized Betas) Satisfaction with the Course of studies Satisfaction with the Institution Satisfaction with the Employability of the course of studies Satisfaction with the Social prestige of the course of studies Satisfaction with the Academic aspects 0,43 0,34 0,27 0,28 Satisfaction with the Academic support -0,02 0,30 0,11 0,09 Satisfaction with the aspects of the Personal growth 0,24 FINDINGS

26 Importance – Satisfaction =
CIPES Importance – Satisfaction = Gap Score Satisfaction shows room for improvement Gap Scores averages were found to be negative FINDINGS

27 CONCLUSIONS CIPES There is a gap between importance and satisfaction.
The importance attributed to each of the surveyed factors is always higher than the level of satisfaction students demonstrate with those same factors. HEI’s need to gather information on students’ perceptions and their experience in higher education, in order to include in their overall strategic plan the issues related to student satisfaction and student success.
