Abstract

The study addresses student satisfaction in technical and technological higher education institutions, focusing on how the academic level of the teaching staff affects this perception. Using a quantitative design, a questionnaire was applied that evaluated aspects such as the quality of teaching and the academic training of teachers. The results indicate that teachers' advanced degrees, such as master's degrees and doctorates, contribute positively to teachers' perceived competence. However, it is highlighted that factors such as teachers' ability to establish meaningful connections with students and adapt their teaching to individual needs are equally crucial to student satisfaction. This research highlights the importance of integrating solid academic training with effective pedagogical skills to raise educational quality. Also mentioned is the need for more studies that address challenges such as school stress and dropout, and that seek to improve infrastructure and support services to create an educational environment that meets the expectations and needs of students.
