Descrição
Resumo:The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the global educational system, necessitating the adoption of new learning modalities and paradigm shifts. In the Philippines, this move has prompted questions regarding the effectiveness of the new normal education system and its influence on student satisfaction. This research sought to investigate student satisfaction toward higher education services and regenerative futures positioning in the context of new normal education at a government university in Davao Oriental, Philippines. A multiple linear regression model involving 600 respondents was developed to show the influence of 17 impact factors on student satisfaction. Teaching methods and initiatives, student organization engagement, research, extension and innovation strategy, access to inclusive education, and the quality of graduates and education are all significant predictors of student satisfaction. However, students are concerned about internet connectivity, as the absence of free and reliable Wi-Fi services in the university incurs additional expenses on their part. In addition, regenerative futures positioning is not fully understood by the students but is seen to be relevant to student satisfaction. Along this line, there should be a continuing effort to mainstream Regenerative Futures (RgF) across disciplines to ensure that students develop awareness, appreciation, and engagement. Educational institutions should integrate RgF principles into curricula, pedagogy, and institutional policies, fostering a learning environment that promotes long-term sustainability, innovation, and social responsibility. Future studies are recommended to regularly evaluate student satisfaction to provide fundamental information for institutional planning and development.
