The Effect of Lecturers Teaching Performance on Students Satisfaction in a University

Abstract

Student learning satisfaction is one of the indicators of teachers or lecturers success in teaching performance. It is assumed that the greater student satisfaction with a lecturer’s teaching style equates to better teaching performance by the lecturer. Current research has established that students satisfaction level within a university learning environment correlates with the lecturers teaching performance. The present study took place within a university examining students and lecturers in the Faculty of Economics at Makassar State University in Indonesia. The sample comprised 81 individuals who were investigated using a correlational descriptive study model. Data were gathered through questionnaires and the study of documents and then further analysed using a regression model that consisted of R2, F, t, and determination tests. Findings were that a lecturer’s performance, which involves preparation, opening, core, and closing activities in a lesson, positively and significantly correlated with student satisfaction levels.
