Sri Sarada College of Education (Autonomous), Salem -636016is highly committed to provide quality teacher education to the student teachers who are mainly from rural background. Educating the students with this background creates many challenges and we are committed to face these challenges in an effective manner. To ensure continuous improvement the requirements of the students have to be carefully identified for which we use the mechanism of obtaining the feedback. This survey has been done every year with a sample of around 50 students.
The IQAC of this college took the lead in conducting the Student Satisfaction Survey on - line in June 2019 by the academic staff. The survey results were electronically tabulated and printed by IQAC for analysis and continualimprovement in processes and systems. The analysis was compiled into a survey report which was submitted to themanagement council for review and approval prior to implementation of recommended improvement actions. Survey report is available in the college web portal.
The Students Satisfaction Survey was done online using Googleforms. Hence this digitized process is paperless and green. The online mode of data collection ensures speedy acquisition of information and prompt analysis. The survey was done with 48 student teachers.
