摘要

本研究调查了日本一所小型私立大学的本科生满意度,重点关注社会环境、导师、设施、支持、学术砂砾和学生参与等因素。鉴于日本面临的人口挑战和高等教育竞争的加剧,了解这些因素对于留住学生和院校稳定至关重要。本研究采用定量方法,对反映大学人口构成的样本数据进行分析。主要研究结果表明,教师、设施和支持对学生满意度的影响很大,在按性别和学年进行分析时,可以观察到明显的差异。相比之下,"勇气 "和 "参与度 "在统计学上并不是重要的预测因素;它们在更广泛的教育环境中的作用值得进一步探讨。本研究揭示了提高日本一所小型私立大学学生满意度的可行策略,涉及机构、行政和教学等方面。提出的建议包括:升级设施和改善社会氛围,以营造有利的学习环境;注重教师发展,以提高教学质量;定制参与策略,以满足不同性别和不同年级的需求。这些措施旨在通过创造更充实的大学体验,加强学校的声誉和吸引力,从而缓解入学率下降和学生流失等挑战。

Evaluating Student Satisfaction: A Small Private University Perspective in Japan
This study investigates undergraduate student satisfaction at a small private university in Japan, focusing on factors like social environment, instructors, facilities, support, academic grit, and student engagement. Given Japan's demographic challenges and the heightened competition in higher education, understanding these factors is crucial for student retention and institutional stability. The study employs a quantitative approach, analyzing data from a sample that mirrors the university's demographic composition. Key findings reveal that instructors, facilities, and support significantly influence student satisfaction, with distinct variations observed when analyzed by gender and academic year. In contrast, grit and engagement were not statistically significant predictors; their roles in the broader educational context warrant further exploration. This study reveals actionable strategies to elevate student satisfaction at a small private Japanese university, addressing institutional, administrative, and instructional dimensions. Recommendations include upgrading facilities and enhancing the social atmosphere to foster a conducive learning environment, focusing on faculty development to improve instructional quality, and tailoring engagement strategies to meet gender-specific and year-specific needs. These measures aim to mitigate challenges like declining enrollment and student attrition by creating a more fulfilling university experience and strengthening the institution's reputation and appeal.
