Through an analysis of formal and informal education and its relationship to life satisfaction among engineering students, our study examines how academic activities offered by educational ...institutions affect students’ life satisfaction and whether there is a relationship between these activities, life satisfaction, and academic performance. A 63-item MANSA questionnaire was developed to measure six characteristics of academic activities to assess life satisfaction: Approach to teaching and learning, support for improving understanding, academic creativity, positive evaluation of teaching staff, positive evaluation of educational institution, and positive evaluation of personal academic performance. Using a sample of 1,638 students from diverse academic backgrounds, six regression analyses were conducted to determine which academic activities contribute to higher student life satisfaction. The results suggest that academic growth in higher education can be enhanced through positive engagement and faculty-student interaction. However, life satisfaction did not have a significant effect on GPA in secondary or higher education. The study identified specific academic activities that contribute to improving students’ quality of life, including recognizing critical knowledge, creative thinking, general academic activities, and parental support. Positive evaluations of faculty, educational institutions and personal academic performance, such as teamwork and clear verbal skills, also significantly predicted better quality of life. The study shows that positive academic practices, such as effective approaches to learning, support for understanding, engaging academic activities, and positive evaluations of faculty and institutions, significantly improve students’ life satisfaction (LS) and subjective quality of life (SQL).
