Student satisfaction is widely recognized as an indicator of the quality of students' learning and teaching experience. This study aims to highlight how satisfied students (from the primary and preschool pedagogy specialization within the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, who are studying to become future kindergarten and primary teachers after graduation) are with their learning experience. In order to measure student satisfaction we used a four point Likert scale questionnaire. The questionnaire items were associated with four dimensions: courses/seminar activity, feedback and assessment, learning resources and skills development. The results show that the students from the primary and preschool pedagogy specialization are generally satisfied with their learning experience but at the same time they argue that there is room for improvement when it comes to practice hours and skills development for their future career.
