Student experience scale: Factor analysis in higher education institutions

Abstract

IntroductionIn the context of higher education, the student experience (SX) has an important impact on student satisfaction and the perceived value of the training service received. For these reasons, higher education institutions (HEIs), which are focused on student-centred learning, need to know more about the experience that results from student interaction with the service and support systems that meet their needs in these institutions. However, despite the progress made in the analysis of SX, further research is still needed to know how to measure and manage it, and for this, it is essential to know the student’s perceptions.MethodsFor this reason, an SX scale was selected to have a suitable tool for experience management. Thus, the psychometric properties of the selected scale were evaluated in undergraduate students at two Colombian universities. The validation process consisted of an adaptation of the scale, a content validity analysis, an exploratory factor analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis.ResultsThe results were satisfactory showing the reliability and validity of the student experience scale in the context of universities.DiscussionTherefore, its cross-cultural goodness is confirmed in the student segment and it is suggested to perform this same process for other university audiences.

“…This step led us to a more in-depth analysis of regrouping the items within certain dimensions of skills. Indeed, we conducted factor analysis (Amado Mateus et al, 2023) to obtain consistent dimensions that were confirmed with Cronbach's alpha.…”

Неакадемічний Студентський Досвід В Умовах Постмодернізму

“…Управління студентським досвідом являє собою студентоцентричний підхід, спрямований на поліпшення академічних, соціальних, адміністративних і позанавчальних аспектів студентського життя. Ефективне управління таким досвідом вимагає постійної уваги до потреб та очікувань студентів, а також розроблення стратегій і практик, які підтримують студентів упродовж усього їхнього шляху в університеті (Amado et al, 2023). Ключові елементи управління студентським досвідом можуть включати в себе:…”
