| Summary: | : Failure in addressing students’ needs in the context of student learning experiences may lead
to negative impact on the image of higher education. Framed in self-determination theory, this study
examined students’ relatedness on most satisfying experiences in their respective universities.
Participants’ (N=1974) responses to open-ended questions were inductively coded to understand
relatedness principles of student learning experiences to emerge from the data. The findings revealed
that students valued the role of lecturers in professional and personal contexts, peers for friendship and
teamwork and academic and non-academic experiences resulted from projects and activities. Given this,
to provide a positive learning environment for students, university management needs to address and
support lecturers’ well-being, pay attention to student relations on campus and support academic and
non-academic activities. By understanding the roles of connecting students to lecturers, students to
students and students to administrative staff, we could build a dynamic and functional campus
environment for each party to live and care about each other. |
