This document summarizes a research paper that studied factors influencing the academic performance of university students. The research identified four main factors - teaching and learning process, infrastructure of the university, family and peers influence, and students' financial situation. A survey was conducted of students in their 4th and 5th semesters, and the data was analyzed using statistical methods. The results found that the teaching and learning process had the highest impact on students' academic performance and graduation on time. The research concluded that improvements could be made to teaching methods, student support, and assistance for financially disadvantaged students.
The effects of background characteristics and school factors on college stude...Alexander Decker
This study examined how background characteristics and school factors influence college students' academic
performance and satisfaction. A survey of 323 students at a Nigerian polytechnic found that performance was
strongly linked to satisfaction with the academic environment and services. High school performance also
strongly predicted college performance. The study also found that academic major, library services, and
professional development programs like internships were significantly related to college achievement. However,
family socioeconomic status did not have a statistically significant association with performance. The findings
provide insight into how to improve student admission, support, and retention.
An Analysis of Factors That Contribute To Low Student Success and Retention i...iosrjce
This study aimed at analysing the factors that contribute to low student success and retention in open
and distance learning (ODL) institutions. The Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU), Mashonaland East Regional
Centre was purposively selected for the study which adopted the case study design in order to provide a detailed
empirical investigation of the problem of retention rates in ZOU. The study employed the qualitative research
methodology. Data were gathered through focus group discussions, questionnaires and in-depth interviews to
enable data triangulation. The target population was 650 students who all took part in the survey. These were
drawn from all the four faculties of the University at the Mashonaland East Regional Centre. The study revealed
that student enrolment statistics at the ZOU - Mashonaland East Regional Centre experienced the worst decline
(40%) in 2009 between the first and second semester due to socio-economic and political challenges prevailing
in the country. The rate of decline in enrolment varied according to programmes. Also the participation of
women (44%) in distance education as compared to men (56%) at Mashonaland East Regional Centre was a
cause for concern. Financial challenges caused by low salaries and unfriendly fees policy was cited by almost
92% of the respondents as the major cause of student dropout. Institutional – related factors such as tutoring,
communication, library services and fees policy were said to be significantly contributing to student dropout.
The study made a number of recommendations among which were that ZOU needs to improve the quality and
effectiveness of student support services in the following areas: management of assignments, delivery of
tutorials, distribution of study materials, and publication of examinations. Tutorial time per module should be
increased (12 tutorial hours per module). ZOU should consider the advantages of the Block release method of
delivery as opposed to tutorials. Student queries, of whatever nature, must be addressed promptly and
effectively. It is also important for ZOU to create a billing system that will allow for some flexibility in fees
payment. An example would be allowing students to set up a payment plan. ZOU must adopt policies and
procedures that address the special needs of distance education students since distance education encompasses
a broad range of age groups.

This document summarizes a study that examined factors affecting student academic performance, including teaching method, choice of discipline, and student-lecturer relationship. The study analyzed data from 192 students in Nigeria on their course of study, effort level, and relationship with lecturers. The results showed that choice of discipline influenced by university authority rather than passion was negatively associated with student GPA. Additionally, student GPA increased as the rapport between students and lecturers improved. Some students who put in high effort performed worse than less studying students, possibly due to rushed lectures or lack of learning resources. The study concluded teaching methods should maintain good student-lecturer relationships while preventing moral hazard of passing without effort.

This thesis examines the working conditions of public elementary school teachers in Zamboanga City, Philippines amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and how these conditions affected their work performance. A survey was conducted of 83 teachers across 6 schools to understand the extent of their working conditions in terms of professional development, communication, recognition, collaboration, and expectations. The survey also assessed teachers' work performance. The study found that teachers reported their working conditions as satisfactory and their work performance as very satisfactory. A moderate positive relationship was found between working conditions and work performance. Certain demographic variables like age and length of service were found to influence working conditions and performance. The results can inform policymaking and teacher professional development programs.
The primary goal of this research was to investigate AOU students' conceptions of the quality of online experience through the learning management system in supporting their classroom tutorials. A 32-item questionnaire was administered to a randomly selected sample (205) of Elementary Education students at the AOU Jordan Branch. On one hand, the results showed that the objectives of the courses were very clear to students, online materials on the learning management system were interesting and supported to classroom learning, students preferred online quizzes, the online materials supported key assessment tasks and tutors provided continuous access to relevant information about assessment. On the other hand, the findings revealed that the online materials and e-activities were too loaded for the students to understand thoroughly, and much of the feedback they received from the tutor was not helpful. The results also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences among students’ views of BL or their overall satisfaction of the online experience that could be attributed to gender or academic achievement level. Results suggest some pedagogical implications for tutors and programmer coordinators.

1. The study investigated students' perceptions of blended learning environments and their preferences with respect to academic performance.
2. A questionnaire was administered to 25 first-year students at a Chinese university, who were classified as high or low achievers.
3. Results showed that students were generally satisfied with the convenience, understanding, and interaction afforded by blended learning, but less satisfied with engagement. Students' preferences did not strongly correlate with academic performance.
This document summarizes a research study that explored perceptions of quality in higher education from the perspectives of undergraduate students, academic staff, and employers at Kingston University. 340 students, 32 staff members, and 17 employers completed questionnaires about their views. Key findings were that employers valued graduate personal qualities the most, while students and staff rated the quality of teaching, learning, feedback and staff-student relationships highly. Students were generally positive about teaching methods but uncertain if they were receiving a high-quality education. The study aims to help universities better understand different stakeholder views of quality to improve student experience and employability.
This research proposal aims to investigate the impact of outcome-based education on the academic performance of Bachelor of Secondary Education students majoring in Social Studies at City College of Tagaytay. The study will examine how outcome-based education affects students' understanding, learning, and skills. It will also compare academic performance and the effects of outcome-based education across different year levels. The researchers will administer surveys to collect data on students' perceptions. They will then analyze the data both qualitatively by interpreting responses and quantitatively by testing relationships between variables. The study seeks to provide benefits for students, teachers, the institution, and future researchers by exploring how outcome-based approaches influence academic achievement.
IRJET- Relationship between Achievement in Advanced Educational Psychology an...IRJET Journal
This study examined the relationship between achievement in advanced educational psychology and self-regulated learning among prospective teachers. A pre-test post-test design was used to evaluate the impact of an e-content module on growth, development and learning. Samples of 30 prospective teachers learning in Tamil and 30 in English participated. Results showed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores, indicating the e-content was effective. There was also a substantial positive relationship found between achievement and self-regulated learning. The study concluded the e-content module improved achievement and self-regulated learning is important for prospective teachers.
This thesis examines the working conditions of public elementary school teachers in Zamboanga City, Philippines amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and how these conditions affected their work performance. A survey was conducted of 83 teachers across 6 schools to understand the extent of their working conditions in terms of professional development, communication, recognition, collaboration, and expectations. The survey also assessed teachers' work performance. The study found that teachers reported their working conditions as satisfactory and their work performance as very satisfactory. A moderate positive relationship was found between working conditions and work performance. Certain demographic variables like age and length of service were found to influence working conditions and performance. The results can inform policymaking and teacher professional development programs.
The primary goal of this research was to investigate AOU students' conceptions of the quality of online experience through the learning management system in supporting their classroom tutorials. A 32-item questionnaire was administered to a randomly selected sample (205) of Elementary Education students at the AOU Jordan Branch. On one hand, the results showed that the objectives of the courses were very clear to students, online materials on the learning management system were interesting and supported to classroom learning, students preferred online quizzes, the online materials supported key assessment tasks and tutors provided continuous access to relevant information about assessment. On the other hand, the findings revealed that the online materials and e-activities were too loaded for the students to understand thoroughly, and much of the feedback they received from the tutor was not helpful. The results also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences among students’ views of BL or their overall satisfaction of the online experience that could be attributed to gender or academic achievement level. Results suggest some pedagogical implications for tutors and programmer coordinators.

1. A vulnerability refers to a
known
weakness of an asset (resource) that can be exploited by one or more attackers. In other words, it is a known issue that allows an attack to succeed.
For example, when a team member resigns and you forget to disable their access to external accounts, change logins, or remove their names from company credit cards, this leaves your business open to both intentional and unintentional threats. However, most vulnerabilities are exploited by automated attackers and not a human typing on the other side of the network.
Testing for vulnerabilities is critical to ensuring the continued security of your systems. Identify the weak points. Discuss at least four questions to ask when determining your security vulnerabilities.

The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

1. Introduction
Education sector is expanding very rapidly all over the world in
recent years. Globalization and digital revolution
has created a demand for new and varied disciplines in
education. The cost of providing education has gone up
manifold due to better teaching methodologies and learning
instruments with rising inflation worldwide. The brisk
increase in the number of institutions in higher education has
led to an intense competition. Number of new
institutions has been established and enrolment is also on the
rise (Isani & Virk, 2005). Students can get information
easily and instantly due to advancement in technology and
globalization. In this competitive environment only those
institutions can excel which are providing quality education and
constructive environment to their students, since
these factors can influence their choice of admission. Such
factors can satisfy students to their institutions and can
affect their decisions to attend.
Extensive research has been carried out studying the factors
which can effect the satisfaction and retention of
students. Aldridge and Rowley (1998) articulate that according
to students’ point of view, good quality education
provides better learning opportunities and suggest that the
levels of satisfaction or dissatisfaction strongly affect the
student’s success or failure of learning. Deshields et al (2005)
state that higher education institutions are focusing on
identifying and satisfying the needs and expectations of their
students. Such factors include student academic
achievement, faculty performance, classroom environment,
4. a market orientation strategy to differentiate their
services from the competitors in order to increase enrolments
and attract students. However, increasing enrolments
is not the only answer to survival, they also have to properly
manage and retain these students. In Pakistan, the
focus on quality in higher education is comparatively recent and
the subject of student satisfaction has not been
explored much. Therefore, the objective of this study is to
assess the level of student satisfaction to different services
provided by the public and private universities in Pakistan.
2. Literature Review
Numerous studies have been conducted to measure the student
satisfaction at university level in developed part of
the world. Various factors have been identified that can
potentially affect the students satisfaction to different
education services provided by the universities. Students’
informal contacts with faculty members were consistently
related to withdrawal/ persistence decisions (Terenzini and
Pascarella, 1980). Retention of student was often
considered as an indication of student satisfaction with their
university program and, hence, indirectly, the quality of
the university education (Druzdzel & Glymour, 1995). Campbell
and Campbell (1997) established faculty
mentoring programs to be positively correlated with academic
performance and lower drop out rates. Aldridge and
Rowley (1998) investigated a group of students in a UK
university to measure their satisfaction level. The results
revealed that a negative quality model is useful in managing
this phenomenon. The model underlined that
organizations should seek to respond to incidents that lead to
dissatisfaction as they arise as continued perception of
poor quality will lead to attrition. Similarly, Napoli and
Wortman (1998) assessed that psychological measures i.e.,
5. life events during university, self-esteem, social competence,
social support, personal conscientiousness,
psychological well being and satisfaction with the academic,
administrative and social systems of university have
impact on university persistence. A study was conducted in
German universities using a relationship quality based
student loyalty model by Hennig et al (2001) who found that
quality of teaching and students’ emotional
commitment to their institutions were crucial for students
loyalty.
Yu and Dean (2001) examined that both positive and negative
emotions and cognitive component of satisfaction
correlate with student loyalty and that affective component of
satisfaction serves as a better predictor than cognitive
factor. Palacio et al (2002) conducted a study on Spanish
university students; the results revealed that university
image influenced the student satisfaction with the university.
The results of a study conducted by Mayo et al (2004)
illustrated that conflicting family/work demands, financial
issues and academic concerns were the factors identified
by students as possible reasons for attrition. Aldemir and
Gulcan (2004) examined the Turkish students’ satisfaction
in higher education. The results of study showed that for some
Turkish university students, the quality of instructors,
education, textbooks and being female and informed before
attending university considered to important factors of
satisfaction. For instance Navarro et al (2005) surveyed the
Spanish university students for their satisfaction with
educational offers made by the universities. The results of the
study expressed that the teaching staff, the teaching
methods and course administration were key elements to
achieving student satisfaction and their subsequent loyalty.
Mai (2005) studied the student satisfaction in higher education
and its influential factors. It was found that the
6. overall impression of the school, overall impression of the
quality of the education, teachers expertise and their
interest in their subject, the quality and accessibility of IT
facilities and the prospects of the degree furthering
students careers were the most influential predictors of the
students satisfaction. Similarly Deshields et al. (2005)
used a satisfaction model and Herzberg’s two factor theory to
examine the determinants of student satisfaction with
education. They found that faculty performance and classes
were the key factors which determined the quality of
college experience of students which in turn led to satisfaction.
All these studies emphasis on certain factors of
5448 Babar Zaheer Butt and Kashif ur Rehman / Procedia
Social and Behavioral Sciences 2 (2010) 5446–5450
education offerings which determine the students’ satisfaction
with education and in turn loyalty to the institution.
Therefore the objective of this study is to analyze the student
satisfaction in higher education in Pakistan which is
growing well in recent years.
2.1 Theoretical framework
On the basis of above referred literature this study has
identified some important educational services like
teachers’ expertise, courses offered, learning environment and
classroom facilities which can affect the student
satisfaction with the quality of education offered by different
private and public sector universities in Pakistan. The
conceptual framework of student satisfaction with different
educational services is presented here.
7. 2.1.1 Research hypotheses
The conceptual framework of the study and reviewed literature
suggest some
imperative relationship between different educational offerings
and students
satisfaction. On the basis of such evidence following hypotheses
are developed:
H1: Teachers Expertise is positively related to students’
satisfaction
H2: Courses Offered is positively related to students’
satisfaction
H3: Learning Environment is positively related to students’
satisfaction
H4: Classroom Facilities is positively related to students’
satisfaction
3. Method
This study examines the relationship between students’
satisfaction and education offerings like teachers’
expertise, courses offered, learning environment and classroom
facilities. For this purpose, responses were collected
from students of different private and public sector universities
in Pakistan; the sample size consisted of 350
students from different levels and disciplines. The sample was
divided in to two broad categories that were male and
female. A questionnaire used to collect the information from the
respondents. This questionnaire developed
according to local educational environment on the basis of
instruments used by Aldemir and Gulcan (2004),
8. DeShields et al. (2005) and Mai (2005) in their studies. The
questionnaire was comprised of six sections. Section I
consisted of demographic attributes like age, gender, education
and discipline etc. Section 2 comprised of questions
related to students satisfaction measured on a 5-point Likert
scale anchored by “very satisfied” (1) to “very
dissatisfied” (5). Sections 3-6 related to teachers expertise,
courses offered, learning environment and classroom
facilities and respondents were asked to indicate their
perception on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from “strongly
agree” (1) to “strongly disagree” (5). Reliability analysis
demonstrated the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients for this
questionnaire ranging from .82 to .64 for different sections,
which considered to be relatively high and internally
consistent (Hair et al., 1998).
The questionnaires were conveniently distributed among 450
students of different universities in Pakistan, out of
which 370 were received and 350 questionnaires completed in
all aspects were included in study for analysis. Before
the questionnaire was filled by the respondents the purpose of
the questionnaire was explained to each of the
respondent. Proper instructions were written on the
questionnaire and further instructions were given to the
respondents in order to fill the questionnaire properly. To do
analysis, regression and Independent Sample T-Test
were performed and for this purpose SPSS was used.

4. Results and Discussion
The objective of this study is to find out the relationship
between students’ satisfaction and various education
facilities. Moreover, the level of satisfaction between male and
female students is also investigated. For this purpose
various tests are performed and results are summarized below:
Table 1: Level of Satisfaction between Male and Female
Students (Independent Sample T-Test)
Group Mean Std Dev P-Value
Male 1.7397 .21522 .000 Level of Satisfaction
10. Female 2.1659 .26110
After ensuring the assumption of equality of variances (p>.05),
T-Test is applied to measure the difference of
satisfaction between male and female students. The result of T-
Test shows a significant difference between the
responses of two groups (p<.05). The mean value of female
respondents is greater than male respondents i.e. 2.1659.
It indicates that female students are lesser satisfied with their
education as compared to male students. The results of
this study are almost fair predictions of our socioeconomic
values here in Pakistan. Women get fewer opportunities
than men in education; many families normally do not allow
their daughters to get higher education. The proportion
of female students is also smaller than male students both in
private and public sector universities. Female students
face more problems in reaching and studying at university than
male students.

The above table reveals the results of regression analysis for
students’ satisfaction. It is evident from the results
that model fits the data well (p<0.05) and there is a strong
positive relationship between dependent variables and
predictors (F-statistics=48.00 and R2=.541). The independent
variables of the model explain 54% variations in the
dependent variable. The variables when compared on individual
basis, all the variables are significant (p<.05). The
regression coefficient for teachers’ expertise is 0.392, which
suggests that students’ satisfaction is considerably
sensitive to teachers’ expertise that brings 39% change in
satisfaction. The regression coefficient of courses offered
is .214 in this model, which means that it enhances satisfaction
by 21%. The regression coefficient of learning
environment is 0.255, so, students consider it 25% important for
satisfaction. Whereas the regression coefficient of
classroom facilities is 0.139, so, it has 14% impact on students’
12. satisfaction. All four variables have significant
impact and positively related to students’ satisfaction, though
with varying degree of strength. The results support
the hypotheses developed therefore we accept these hypotheses.
5. Conclusion and Recommendations
In recent years higher education sector in Pakistan has grown
remarkably in terms of number of institutions and
students enrolment due to some earnest steps taken by the
government. This situation appeals and enhances the
5450 Babar Zaheer Butt and Kashif ur Rehman / Procedia
Social and Behavioral Sciences 2 (2010) 5446–5450
students’ interest in higher education in Pakistan. This study
investigates the determinants of students’ satisfaction in
higher education and their influence on level of satisfaction.
From the results it is evident that students are satisfied
with higher education in Pakistan, however level of satisfaction
is different between male and female students,
owing to socioeconomic setting in the country. Since all the
variables are significantly and positively related to
students’ satisfaction it is concluded that teachers expertise,
courses offered, learning environment and classroom
facilities enhance the students satisfaction in higher education.
According to results teachers’ expertise is the most
influential factor on the students’ satisfaction, whereas courses
offered and learning environment are next important
factors and classroom facilities is the least important factor
among all the variables. This means that teachers’
expertise, courses offered and learning environment do a good
job of enhancing students’ satisfaction in higher
education.
13. In the light of above results here are some suggestions and
recommendations for the improvement of students’
satisfaction determinants and hence level of satisfaction.
Government and institutions should pay special attention to
raise the learning opportunities and environment both for male
and female students. Efforts should be made to
induct, train and retain qualified and expert teachers for
promoting the quality education. Courses should be
designed to meet the contemporary challenges and needs of the
market. Conducive and favourable learning
environment should be provided in the universities and
classroom facilities should be upgraded by using state of the
art technology. Healthy and interactive communication should
be established between students and
teachers/administration to provide all necessary information to
them regarding curriculum, offerings and
opportunities.
