Student satisfaction for Teaching and its impact on drop-out rate

Since 2009 the Department of Economics of Foggia has started the project "Analysis of student satisfaction" with the aim to integrate the internal quality control system also with its students’ feedback. In this context, the evaluation of the student’s satisfaction about Teaching and its relation with student’s retention are crucial aspects. In order to understand the satisfaction/feeling level of teaching and the psychological mechanism behind the student evaluation process, CUB models have been adopted [2]. Then, the feelings towards teaching estimated by CUB models and the relation with the drop-out rate are analyzed by linear models.
