Satisfacción del alumnado en sus actuales estudios de formación profesional

Abstract

This work aims to carry out an exploratory study on the students’ satisfaction with their ongoing FP courses. A sample of 789 students was taken from the different communities of Spain, using an ad hoc questionnaire with a Cronbach Alpha’s reliability coefficient of .966. Confirmatory factor analysis identifies two factors that refer to “relationships, curriculum and lessons” and “organization, facilities, resources and schedules”. The model suggested, with measurements of RMSEA .04, SRMR .02, CFI .98, TLI .98 and X2/gl 1.68, is considered acceptable. The aspects most highly rated by the students refer to “relationships with current classmates and teachers”, “the training gained for a future job” and “the subjects studied”. The students stated they would enroll again in their ongoing studies. There are no differences depending on the degree, school ownership and having paid employment experience. A protocol is provided that may be of interest to analyse the students’ satisfaction with these degrees.
