Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between teacher competence and student satisfaction in religious secondary schools. The primary aim is to determine how various dimensions of teacher competence influence students’ overall satisfaction with the learning experience. A quantitative research design was employed, using structured questionnaires administered to a sample of Form 4 and Form 5 students in selected religious secondary schools in Pahang, Malaysia. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression analyses. The results revealed that teacher competence particularly in professionalism and content mastery has a strong and statistically significant positive correlation with student satisfaction. Linear regression analysis showed that teacher competence accounts for over 50% of the variation in student satisfaction levels. While the general level of teacher competence was rated as high, the integration of technology in teaching was found to be only moderate. This highlights a need for improved digital literacy among teachers. The study concludes by recommending continuous professional development focused on strengthening teachers’ professionalism, enhancing subject matter expertise, and advancing the integration of educational technology. Support from school leadership and educational policymakers is essential to sustain teacher effectiveness and address the evolving needs of 21st-century education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between three dimensions of social environmental influence parental influence, teacher influence, and peer influence and the level of student satisfaction at a State Religious Secondary School in Malaysia. A total of 100 Form Four and Form Five students were selected using stratified random sampling to ensure balanced representation. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 27, employing descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses. The results revealed significant positive relationships between all three dimensions of social influence and student satisfaction. Among them, teacher influence showed the strongest correlation, followed by parental and peer influences. Regression analysis indicated that these dimensions collectively explained 56% of the variance in student satisfaction, with teacher influence being the most influential predictor. The findings underscore the pivotal role of teachers as facilitators who enhance students’ satisfaction and motivation. Additionally, parental support contributes significantly to students’ positive learning experiences, while peer influence mainly affects social and emotional well-being. The study recommends that school administrators and stakeholders strengthen positive social interactions and supportive environments to promote greater student satisfaction and overall well-being.
