Exploring Students' Perception About the Quality of Teaching at the University Level

Abstract

    The present study was conducted to explore the students' perception regarding the effectiveness of teaching quality at the university level. The study was descriptive in nature and a convenience sampling technique was applied to collect data using a self–developed questionnaire from 686 students of the University of Okara. The collected data was analyzed by applying SPSS software for descriptive and inferential statistics. To compare the students’ views regarding quality of teaching a t-test and ANOVA was applied. The findings of the study explored that the overall teaching quality of faculty was above average. Male and female students shared, similar perceptions on factors like pedagogical skills, managerial competencies, supportive learning environment, teachers’ support, and feedback). However, a significant difference exists between male and female respondents regarding the availability of resources. The researcher recommended that the indicators of quality teaching be focused through training, seminars, and conferences to improve these parameters.
