Abstract

This study examined the current status of course satisfaction among Chinese preschool undergraduate students and the prediction of five influencing factors on students satisfaction: teacher instruction, course management, course setting, course environment, and course resources. The findings revealed that: 1. the mean value of course experience was M=3.861 (out of 5); 2. there were differences in the satisfaction of undergraduate students' course experience by different background variables; 3. course, course resources, and loyalty had significant predictive power on undergraduate students' satisfaction with course experience; 4. instructor instruction (TI) did not significantly predict students' satisfaction with course experience (SCES) (p> 0.001); 5. Faculty instruction (TI) in this study had the highest mean satisfaction score (M = 4.191) and the mean satisfaction score was only (M = 3.861). The results show that the current status of course satisfaction among Chinese preschool undergraduates is at an moderate level, and there is more space for improvement; although students' satisfaction with teacher instruction (TI) is high, effective teacher instruction does not have a substantial impact on the acquisition of SCES or general competencies, and this passive learning and teaching style leads to a lack of independent learning and active participation among Chinese preschool undergraduate students.
