The questionnaire will be based on the Likert type scale, that means the responses
are scaled on a scale of 0 to 4, with the most positive response being rated as
4 and the most negative response being rated as 0. The score emerging out of the
survey is part of the second criterion on Teaching-Learning and Evaluation, out
of the seven NAAC criteria. The questionnaire consists of several facets of the
teaching-learning process. Questions vary from specific teaching skills of the teacher
to his overall approach to the educational process. Specific skills of the teacher
like subject knowledge, communication skills, class preparation, and use of ICT
tools are part of the questionnaire. The overall approach of the teacher and institution
with respect to providing the right environment, motivation, interpersonal relationships,
feedback, etc. forms the second major component of the questionnaire. Twenty of
the twenty-one questions are objective in nature, while one question is open-ended
to elicit observations and suggestions for improvements providing an opportunity
to the student to give suggestions and criticisms in their own words. Analysis of
the survey would be done using software which will aggregate the responses and generate
the score. The score will range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 4 on a five-point
scale and would affect the overall score of the second criteria on Teaching-Learning
and evaluation. Responses to the open-ended question would also be aggregated to
find out the most common suggestion and criticisms emerging out of the survey.
There are twenty objective questions in the questionnaire and one open-ended question.
There are twenty objective questions and students will respond on a scale of 4 to
0, with the most positive response rated as 4 and the most negative response rated
as 0. The mean score for each question will be calculated and the overall mean will
be arrived at. This figure will range from 4 to 0 and will give the mean satisfaction
level of the students for the particular institute. This figure in the range of
4 to 0 will be the score of key indicator ‘Student Satisfaction Survey’ (2.7.1)
which is part of criterion II on Teaching-Learning and Evaluation.
The students are asked to give three observations/suggestions to improve the overall
teaching-learning experience in the institution. The analysis would be carried out
by aggregating the most occurring suggestions in the student responses. This would
provide an idea of the most general expectations, observations, and suggestions
from the students.
