La Federazione degli Atenei del Sud-Est nell’opinione dei docenti universitari

Recently, the Universities of Puglia, Molise and Basilicata started a project of Federation which aims to create a common pathway for the rationalization of resources and potentials, improving efficiency and competitiveness of educational activities, re-search and services to students. In this context, our study aims to evaluate the opinion of teachers belonging to the six universities participating in such initiative, about the state of the Italian university system in various aspects, as well as about the project of the Federation and its implementation. We projected a survey using a online questionnaire freely compiled by each teacher or researcher. The statistical data analysis revealed that some professional or personal characteristics of the respondents can influence signifi-cantly the opinions about several themes. Finally, a segmentation analysis of the sample was performed: through an automatic classification, such analysis identified the pres-ence of multiple complex relationships and, particularly, identified homogeneous groups with respect to the survey themes.
