Analyzing the Role of Campus Facilities in Students' Satisfaction at a Maritime Higher Educational Institution

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

The research aimed to assess students' satisfaction at John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University-Molo. The study examined the level and differences in satisfaction based on year level, place of origin, and classification (Polaris or Regular class). 50 Marine Engineering students enrolled in the school year 2016-2017 were surveyed using a standardized questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, such as mean and standard deviation, were used to analyze the data, while the t-Test for independent samples was used for inferential statistics. Overall, the facilities and services of the school were described as satisfying, with a few categories being moderately satisfying. When grouped by year level, place of origin, and classification, responses were limited to "satisfied" and "moderately satisfied" descriptions. There was no significant difference in satisfaction levels based on these factors. In conclusion, students generally found the facilities and services of the institution satisfying, with no significant differences based on year level, place of origin, and classification.
