Abstract This study investigates the satisfaction levels of secondary student teachers in relation to key demographic factors, including gender, academic background, medium of instruction, and locality. Data were collected from a representative sample of 94 B.Ed. student teachers using a structured satisfaction questionnaire covering dimensions such as faculty support, institutional resources, workload, motivation, and confidence improvement. Independent sample t-tests were conducted to identify differences in satisfaction scores across groups. Findings revealed no statistically significant differences in overall satisfaction across any demographic factor (all p > 0.05), although males, science-background students, English-medium students, and urban students reported slightly higher mean scores. Across all groups, “teacher helpfulness” and “facilities/resources” received the highest ratings, while “workload” emerged as the lowest-rated dimension. These results suggest that the B.Ed. program demonstrates strong inclusivity and overall effectiveness in meeting the needs of diverse learners. However, targeted interventions focusing on workload reduction and confidence enhancement—particularly for females, Arts/Commerce students, Kannada-medium learners, and rural students—could further strengthen program equity and satisfaction.
Keywords B.Ed. student teachers, satisfaction analysis, demographic factors, workload, confidence, teacher education.
