This study was to investigate university students' perceptions of their classroom experience in classes taught by Taiwanese teachers (localfaculty classes) and those taught by foreign or western teachers (foreignfaculty classes) at private and public universities. The sample included 714 undergraduate students from 14 universities in Taiwan. The "Students' Perception of Classroom Experience Scale" consisted of seven dimensions: Peer Supportiveness, Peer Pressure, Teacher Supportiveness, Teacher Approachability, Study Preparedness, Class Participation, and Learning Comprehension. The results indicated that students from private universities perceived a significantly higher level of Peer Supportiveness, Peer Pressure, and Study Preparedness in their foreign-faculty classes than in their localfaculty classes. Both private and public university students perceived a higher level of Teacher Supportiveness and Teacher Approachability in the foreign-faculty classes than in the local-faculty classes. Meanwhile, the private university students perceived a higher level of Teacher Approachability in both types of classes than their counterparts from the public universities. |
