Teachers’ satisfaction level with the physical environment of Jordanian rented public school buildings

Abstract EN

This study was conducted to identify the extent to which Jordanian teachers working in rented schools are satisfied with the infrastructure of their leased learning environment.

A survey of 36 items comprising 4 dimensions (school’s location, design, classrooms and facilities) was administered to a population sample of 657 teachers from 49 schools.

Findings revealed an overall low level (M=2.25) of satisfaction amongst teachers.

They seem to agree that leased school buildings lack the very basics of professional infrastructure in which a teacher may effectively operate.

Analysis also revealed the absence of significant statistical differences that could be attributed to the gender factor.
