Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between educational inputs and their effect on the quality of graduates from educational faculties in private universities. The researchers developed and distributed a questionnaire to 356 university graduates, as well as another questionnaire to supervisors, principals, and heads of departments to assess the quality of the private university graduates. The results indicated that private universities provide, according to the respondents, high-quality inputs in terms of vision, teaching staff, curriculum, teaching methods, and evaluation. University graduates gave high evaluations for the skills acquired in the five areas they were asked about. Additionally, supervisors, principals, and heads of departments also rated the graduates' performance highly. The relationship between educational inputs (as expressed by the graduates) and graduate quality (as expressed by the supervisors and principals) was quantitatively assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficient. It was found that there is a statistically significant relationship between the basic cognitive competencies and the overall scores of the areas evaluated by the supervisors and principals.
