Student Satisfaction on Learning and Teacher Quality: A Case Study in an International Standard Madrasah

Saifuddin Chalim

Abstract


ABSTRACT: Studies related to the development of Islamic education have been the focus of public attention in recent decades. The increasing demands for educational change relevant to the needs of the community have changed the “madrasah” (modern Islamic school), both at the level of concepts, processes, functions, objectives, management of educational institutions, and educational management resources. The quality of education programs and services is an important factor in maintaining the sustainability of “madrasah” and increasing satisfaction for students. The quality of teaching, for example, is an important factor in improving student excellence and is influenced by teachers' competence and professionalism. This research is aimed to investigate students' satisfaction on learning system and teacher in an international standard “madrasah” and its relation with student learning results. This study used a survey method and involved 135 students as participants. A set of questionnaires consisting of 15 questions was used to collect the data. Using the IPA (Importance Performance Analysis) and Gap Analysis methods to analyze the data, the results showed that students had a positive response on learning and the quality of their teacher. In addition, there is a significant relationship between learning outcomes and student scores on teacher' teaching abilities. The results of this study are expected to be an input for the improvement of education programs and services in international “madrasah”.

KEY WORD: Teacher Quality; International Standard Madrasah; Importance Performance Analysis, Gap Analysis; Students' Satisfaction.
