Is the educational process satisfactory? The perspective of students in the Slovak Republic

Abstract

The student satisfaction survey is an important tool to assess the quality of educational services provided by academic institutions. Understanding students’ opinions on different aspects of their educational experience can lead to better tailoring of educational provision to their needs and expectations. The aim of this article is to show the results of a study on the perceived satisfaction with education of students from the area of the Slovak Republic. The data shown here are part of research conducted from November 2023 to April 2024 in Poland, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. Due to significant differences in the number of respondents from Slovakia, the data presented here were not included in previous analyses and are presented independently. The research was conducted using a diagnostic survey method, with a questionnaire technique and an online survey questionnaire tool. There were 43 Slovak respondents. The analyses showed that the majority of students declared a feeling of satisfaction with their chosen educational path at a higher than average level. In addition, the publication presents data on the reason for undertaking academic education and the reason for choosing a particular educational unit.
