Resumen

The study set out to identify the predictive variables of academic satisfaction among 391 university students using the Turnitin platform during June and July 2023. The teaching and orientation skills, knowledge of citation and reference techniques, and critical thinking and writing skills are assessed quantitatively using a model based on structural equations. The results revealed that critical thinking and writing skills did not show a significant effect. However, teaching and guidance skills and knowledge of citation and reference techniques significantly impacted academic satisfaction. Focusing on improving teaching and guidance skills and knowledge of citation and reference techniques can enhance the academic satisfaction of university students. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
