Abstract

To compare and contrast the quality of higher education in public and private universities of Bangladesh, a study was conducted, to evaluate student satisfaction in these institutions. The study used a modified Noel-Levitz student satisfaction survey, consisting of twenty two questions which measured student satisfaction levels in four different areas: faculty, curriculum, resources, and campus environment. The survey also measured the students’ overall level of satisfaction with the institution. Data collected from different private and public universities showed overall satisfaction level to be higher among private university students than public university students.  The data also indicated that students from private universities are more satisfied than those of public universities. Finally, comparison of data from male and female students showed higher level of satisfaction among female students.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijere.v2i2.2060

Abstract

To meet the growing need for increased capacity in higher education, the government of Bangladesh encouraged development of private universities in 1992.  Currently, there are sixty private universities1, thirty-four public universities2 and  three international universities in Bangladesh3.  Although the increased number of universities has provided opportunities, a debate has emerged over the quality at these institutions due to significant difference among these institutions.  These inconsistencies in quality may be due to the lack of regulatory oversight and inefficiencies of the regulatory agencies of the government.  The cost of education at private universities is high compared to significantly lower cost at public universities that are subsidized by the government.  In spite of the higher cost, student satisfaction levels have not been higher at private universities in the past4.  The work presented in this paper seeks to determine the quality of education in public and private universities in Bangladesh using student satisfaction as a measure of quality.  It is well understood that student satisfaction measure may not be the only indicator of quality, but it can be considered as one of the important indicators.   The survey questions were modified to adapt them to the context of Bangladesh.   The twenty-two question survey results from private and public university students of Bangladesh were compared to determine the level of student satisfaction.  The results of the current study were compared with the SSI data of US private and public universities.  Results of the current study  showed that the students in public universities of Bangladesh had lowest level of satisfaction and the private universities of Bangladesh had highest satisfaction The results derived from this data can be used by both public and private universities for improving quality in higher education.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijere.v3i2.2886

Abstract

To better understand the motivation and strategies used by students around the world, a comparative study among three different countries was performed.The current study used the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) questionnaire to collect responses from students in public and private universities of Bangladesh.The results were also used to compare the differences between public and private universities of Bangladesh, as there is a national debate on the quality of these two types of universities in Bangladesh.The number of students that participated in this study was 164 with 143 from private universities and 21 from public universities. The number of lower responses from public universities may be an indicator of their lack of motivation to participate in this study. MSLQ questionnaires have been used and adapted by universities across the world as a valid instrument to measure the level of motivation and the learning process.The survey consists of 18 questions to evaluate motivation and learning strategies. The results of the responses from Bangladesh were compared with a previous study between students of USA and China [9].There was no significant difference between public and private universities in Bangladesh in most of the categories.However, some differences were observed among these three countries indicating that students from different geographical regions may have different levels of motivation and learn differently.DOI: http://doi.org/10.11591/ijere.v3i4.6288
