Resumo

Introdução: A satisfação dos estudantes e a empregabilidade percebida são construtos fundamentais na avaliação da qualidade percebida das instituições de ensino superior e, por conseguinte, têm sido objeto de extensa investigação.

Objetivo: Explorar a satisfação dos estudantes e a empregabilidade percebida no ensino superior profissionalizante da Indonésia, nomeadamente nos institutos politécnicos.

Métodos: Abordagem mista do tipo convergente-paralelo. Os dados foram obtidos junto de 356 estudantes do último ano, matriculados em cursos de licenciatura de quatro anos, em quatro institutos politécnicos públicos localizados em Java Oriental, Indonésia. Na vertente quantitativa, as respostas de natureza fechada foram analisadas de forma descritiva através da análise em tercis e, de forma inferencial, através dos testes de Kruskal–Wallis, Mann–Whitney U e da correlação de Spearman.

Resultados: Os níveis de satisfação dos estudantes e de empregabilidade percebida apresentam consistência entre diferentes grupos demográficos, com uma correlação positiva significativa identificada entre esses dois construtos. Três fatores abrangentes que contribuem para a satisfação dos estudantes são de natureza académica, não académica e relacionados com a empregabilidade. Dois fatores abrangentes que contribuem para a empregabilidade percebida são a empregabilidade interna e a empregabilidade externa. O fator académico, em particular o desenho curricular e a competência do corpo docente, constitui o determinante predominante da satisfação dos estudantes. O fator de empregabilidade interna — entendido como aquilo que é oferecido aos empregadores — mostra-se mais dominante na formação da empregabilidade percebida do que o fator de empregabilidade externa — entendido como aquilo que os empregadores esperam.

Conclusão: Este estudo apresenta contribuições teóricas e recomendações práticas destinadas a aprimorar a qualidade percebida das instituições politécnicas, promovendo o alinhamento entre os resultados educacionais e as expectativas dos estudantes, dos pais e dos atores do setor industrial.
