Police Students’ Satisfaction of Courses and Instructors: Does it affect Academic Success?

Assessing the satisfaction levels of students is an important tool for finding the failures of the educational systems and making effective enhancements to increase the quality of the education. This research study assesses second class students’ satisfaction levels about the courses and instructors of a police vocational school of higher education and the effect of student satisfaction levels over academic success. Two types of data were collected for this study. The first data includes the satisfaction levels of students about courses and instructors. The second data includes students’ final grades. The data sets were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, correlation, and multiple regression tests. The findings demonstrated that students are satisfied with both the courses and the instructors; however, satisfaction levels significantly differed based on different courses and instructors. Moreover, a significant positive relationship was found between the satisfaction level of courses and instructors with academic success.
