Abstract

This article surveys student’s satisfaction of the small bible study meetinggroups for non-Christian new students in Kosin university. This article alsoanalyzes factors which influence to their satisfaction from those groups. Many Christian universities ask new students to join to their university chapelscompulsorily. Chapels are not only good opportunities to preach theGospel to non-Christian students, but also they are good ways to make identitiesof Christian schools and universities clear. However, most Christian universitiesseem to face various difficulties in managing their own chapels. Even though we may find many proper reasons for them, one of the biggestreasons is the rapid increase of new non-Christian students in the case ofKosin University. In fact, it is true that all of Christian universities are runningmany different types of chapels for non-Christian students, but their attemptsdo not seem to be working effectively. This article has been written on the basis of the results of the survey andresearch which were performed as the alternative program of chapel fornon-Christian students by Kosin University. Kosin University started this programsince 2008. Since approximately 30% of new students seems to be classifiedas non-Christians, Kosin university divides them into 20 small biblestudy groups with 10 to 12 student non-Christian members. First, we analyzedthe satisfaction of these groups through Descriptive Statistics. The results of these statistics shows 4.0995. It is quite high. In order to find any differencesbetween male and female students, T-test was performed, but therewere no significant differences. Then, I surveyed a correlation of each variablesthrough the correlation analysis to identify which variables are moreinfluential. The result shows that all five variables have quite strongcorrelations. Especially, the professor related variables have the most strongcorrelations. Five independent variables were used in this article, includingProfessor-Student Relationship(PSR), Professor’s Competence(PC), TeachingContents(TC), School Policy(SC), and Peer Relationship(PR), and, dependentvariable is the Satisfation of Students in small group Bible study meeting(SS). The conclusion of the analysis shows that SS has strong relationships with PSR,PC, TC, and has weak relationship with SP and PR, since SP is external variableand PR is uncontrollable by professors. Professor’s Competence(PC) has themost important independent variable for Satisfaction of Students(SOS), and italso causes PSR to be increased.
