The purpose of the study is to identify the training needs of students and ways in which higher education aims can be achieved.
The study is based on data obtained from the application of a sample survey which studies the opinion of students regarding the quality of education process. The sample survey was applied to a non-probabilistic sample. Students were randomly selected from two universities: \\\\\\\"Alexandru Ioan Cuza\\\\\\\" University of Iasi and \\\\\\\"Stefan cel Mare\\\\\\\" University of Suceava.
The investigative technique used was the auto-questionnaire survey administered in group.
The sample size was 446 students (257 students from „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iasi and 189 from „Stefan cel Mare” University of Suceava. Each student completed simultaneously two non-standardized questionnaires.
The results of the study were very interesting and unexpected and we will show some of them below: there is a student dissatisfaction regarding the way in which the higher education level is done, which involves: conditions (material and not only) provided by universities (13.2%), lack of interest from students and teachers too, poor practice, tense relations teacher-student (12.4%), a moral profile of teacher less appropriate to its mission, courses contain too old information or inconsistent with market demands, etc. A very interesting aspect in is that students have not very different opinions, although they are part of different universities with different profiles, which means that it is a state of dissatisfaction overall, although in different situations, students expressed their satisfaction regarding some teaching activities, related to how they are evaluated, etc.
As a conclusion, it is useful to know that this study may be a part of a more complex research conducted at national level. Thus, significant differences were recorded can be a basis for future studies, surveys, in which can be proposed various hypotheses that could explain there results. | Keywords
