Abstract:

In order to assess the general quality perceived by students of the online occupational risk prevention master of Miguel Hernández a data collection is annually conducted through a questionnaire of thirteen items. The population survey was conducted by the students enrolled in the Master's Thesis Course (TFM subject) of each academic year to evaluate the overall satisfaction with the master. Aspects evaluated were related to academic and adminastative management of master (information of webpage, coordination of master and among subjects, materials, resources and evaluation procedures, time of response to questions, compliance level with training objectives and program and mentoring of TFM). Finally they were asked whether they would recommend this master to other person. We present the evolution of the results of these questionnaire from 2015-2016 to 2017-2018 academic year.

The questionnaire was voluntarily conducted through the virtual campus, by accessing with a personal access. Students must score each item on a scale of 1 to 5, where higher scores indicate greater satisfaction. The response rate (number of different students responding to the survey divided by the total number of students enrolled in the course) increased from 9% in the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 academic years to 19% in 2017-2018.

In general, students were satisfied with aspects evaluated, the most valuated item was "the information provided on the website about the master (planning, Schedule, teaching, education systems and evaluation)”. In all surveys of the studied period, the scores for each of the items in the different subjects were always higher or around 4. Only the score for the fourth item “Teaching materials for the subjects made to acquire the competences in the teaching guides” was below 3,5 in the 2017-2018 academic year. So it will be the main point on which to establish improvement actions. Then, we propose the elaboration of teaching videos for the most complex subjects, through teaching innovation service of the UMH, in order to obtain the best results.
