The Student Satisfaction with Educational Podcasts Questionnaire (Cuestionario de satisfacción con podcasts educativos)

Abstract

Student satisfaction with podcasts is frequently used as an
 indicator of the effectiveness of educational podcasting.
 This aspect has usually been assessed through surveys or
 interviews in descriptive studies, but no standard questionnaire
 exists that can be used to compare results. The main
 aim of this study was to present the Student Satisfaction
 with Educational Podcasts Questionnaire (SSEPQ). The
 SSEPQ consists of 10 items that are scored on a Likert-type
 scale. The items address the opinions of students on content
 adequacy, ease of use, usefulness, and the benefits of
 podcasts for learning. 3-5 minute podcasts were assessed
 as a supplementary tool within the research methods and
 statistics course of their psychology undergraduate degree.
 Confirmatory factor analysis with cross-validation showed
 a one-factor structure, supporting the use of the total score
 as a global index of student satisfaction with podcasts. The
 results suggest that there is a high level of satisfaction with
 podcasts as a tool to improve learning. The questionnaire
 is a brief and simple tool that can provide lecturers with
 direct feedback from their students, and may prove useful
 in improving the teaching-learning process.
