Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explain satisfaction with school life and the shifts associated with it, as well as factors associated with the shifts, in order to consider how students at nursery teacher training junior colleges should be supported. A survey was conducted twice among 80 nursery teacher training junior college students, in April and October. Satisfaction with school life was assessed by studying three aspects, including (1) curriculum, (2) student support system, and (3) campus environment, to examine the relationship of each with students’ on-campus friendships and vision for the future. The results from April revealed that having good relationships with friends improves satisfaction in all areas. The results from October revealed that having a vision for the future increases satisfaction with curriculum. The results also indicated that satisfaction with curriculum of April becomes a driver for satisfaction with other areas in October. Furthermore, future issues concerning student support system were discussed.
