Abstract/Summary

This study determines the degree of satisfaction among the graduates of De La Salle College. The results of the survey conducted represented the opinion of the 362 students of the 1971 graduating class. The College Satisfaction Index Scale (CSIS), originally designed by Roy (1949) and used by Gamelin (1953) was the instrument used in this study. The data gathered from the CSIS were used in computing the means of each item of the CSIS, as well as the means and variances of the Mean Satisfaction Index of each area of the CSIS. The Commerce, Engineering, and Liberal Arts students respectively, as well as all the students taken as a whole, were treated in the computations. The statistical programs used were VOID-R (Pearson Product-Moment Correlation- with Missing Observations), FAST (Principle Axis Factor Analysis), and VARIMAX (Varimax Rotation Program). The adapted instrument consisted of the following ten areas: I. Satisfaction with Curriculum II. Satisfaction with the Instructors III. Satisfaction with Social Life on the Campus IV. Satisfaction with Counselling V. Satisfaction with the College Library VI. Satisfaction with Faculty Advising VII. Satisfaction with Opportunities for Cultural Development VIII. Satisfaction with Health Service IX. Satisfaction with Living Quarters and X. Satisfaction with the College in General.

Based on the analysis of data it was concluded that the 1971 graduates of the College Department of De La Salle College were indifferently to mildly satisfied with the various aspects of the College. In the areas of satisfaction with Curriculum, College Library, and Opportunities for Cultural Development, there was no significant difference in the mean satisfaction among the students of the three colleges (Commerce, Engineering and Liberal Arts). There was significant difference in the mean satisfaction among the three colleges in the areas of Instructors, Counseling, and Faculty Advising. Also, there was a significant difference in the mean satisfaction between Commerce and Engineering in the areas of Health Service, Living Quarters, and the College in General. The Commerce Ss were the most satisfied, while the Engineering Ss were the least satisfied with De La Salle College. Both the California Test of Mental Maturity (CTMM) and the College Satisfaction Index Scale (CSIS) were shown to have factorial validity.
