Abstract

GONZALEZ-CONTRERAS, Alonso et al. Academic satisfaction and teaching practices perceived by Chilean health degrees students. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.3, pp.103-107.  Epub Oct 14, 2019. ISSN 2014-9840.  https://dx.doi.org/10.33588/fem.223.992.

Introduction:

Teaching practices are still a little investigated phenomenon, despite its relevance for the quality of higher education.

Aim:

To analyze the relationship between teaching practices perceived by Chilean health degree students and their academic satisfaction.

Subjects and methods:

649 health students from a university in Chile were surveyed. They answered the Academic Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Teaching Practices Perceived by Students Questionnaire, after an informed consent process.

Results:

Students perceived more traditional, more planned and less student-centered teaching practices. In addition, perceived teaching practices and student information, such as training moment, degree, sex and age predicted 37.19% of the academic satisfaction.

Conclusion:

Academic satisfaction varies according to degree and educational levels completed by the student. It is also associated to their sex and is enhanced by constructivist pedagogical practices.
