Description

Data was collected through a questionnaire, online survey. We coded options on a Likert scale from 5 to 1 as SA (strongly agree-5), A(Agree-4), N (Neutral-3), D (Disagree-2), and SD (strongly disagree-1). Further, we divided the semesters into years to ensure uniformity and homogeneity, as shown in “Table 2.” All 1,545 students including all three institutions received the questionnaire. JMC received 300 questionnaires out of which 93 were males and 207 were females. KMC received 677 questionnaires out of which 380 were males and 297 were females. SMIMS received 568 questionnaires out of which 171 were males and 397 were females. There were a total of 877 responses including responses from all three institutions and descriptive data is shown in Table 3. There were more female respondents than male. Data collection procedures A final set of questionnaires with 13 items was chosen, as shown in “Table 1.” The reliability of the data collection tool was calculated using Cronbach’s alpha value and was found to be 0.72 indicating good internal consistency.

Steps to reproduce

First, responses to each question was analyzed. Then chi-square test was used for seeing different variables/determinants and their correlation with the level of perception. The questionnaire was a Likert scale and for ease of study, scores were divided into two. Strongly disagree, disagree, and neutral was combined to be called ‘poor perception in favour of lectures’, and strongly agree and agree were combined to get one score and to be called ‘good perception favour of lectures’. This was done to get a clear distinction between the perception of students to have or not to have lectures. shows different variables/determinants and their correlation with the level of perception.
