The aim of this study was to examine the reasons for students' violence at Jordanian Universities from the viewpoint of the Hashemite University students. The sample consisted of 521 male and female students, chosen randomly. To collect data, the researcher designed a three-domain questionnaire. The findings of the study revealed that the most important reasons for violence were the reasons related to students (weak commitment to Islamic values, weak resort to psychological and educational counseling, forming student groups on the basis of kinship and areas, and student frustration caused by low grades), then the reasons related to society (defending the honor of family or tribe, wrong socialization, tribal support for students who resort to violence, prevalence of the culture of tribal solidarity, the great importance given to the size of the family or tribe, and pressure of some officials and influential people to reduce punishments imposed on students who resort to violence), and finally the reasons related to universities (policy of exceptions in university admissions, lack of concentration on skills of critical thinking and problem solving, weak culture of dialogue, and lack of concentration on the values of tolerance and forgiveness). Also, the results showed that there were no differences in the students' perception of the reasons for of university violence due to their sex, college, academic year and grade point average.
The study aimed at identifying students’ preferred conflict resolution styles and their relation to students’ sex, grade point average and faculty at The Hashemite University in Jordan. The descriptive method was used. The data of the study were collected through a questionnaire. The sample of the study consisted of 360 students. The results showed that students used cooperation, compromise, and avoiding respectively in a high degree respectively. Also, the results revealed that there were no statistically significant differences in students’ preferred conflict resolution styles due to their sex, grade point average and faculty. In light of the study results, the researcher recommended providing educational programs to students focusing on skills such as tolerance, critical thinking, teamwork, communication, negotiation, dialogue, decision making, problem solving, and resilience to reduce the possibility for their resort to (forcing) as a preferred conflict resolution style.
This study aimed at determining the impact of the novel COVID-19 disease on Jordanian university students, from their own perspectives, and exploring if there were statistically significant differences in this impact due to the following variables: university, gender, faculty, age, residence, birth order in family, and education level.The study adopted the descriptive survey approach. The data was collected through a questionnaire of which the validity and reliability were proven. The convenience sample comprised 3269 students from among 326910 students that formed the survey population. The results revealed that the degree of the impact of COVID-19 on Jordanian universities' students, from their own perspectives, was high. The degree of the psychological and social impact was medium, whereas the degree of the economic, and educational impact was high. The results revealed that there were statistically significant differences in the impact due to various factors: 1) type of university, where students in private universities were more impacted; 2) gender, where females were more impacted; 3) faculty, where humanities students were more impacted; 4) residence, where camp residents were more impacted; and 5) education level, where bachelor's degree holders were more impacted.In the light of the results of the study, the researchers present some recommendations to alleviate the negative impact of COVID-19 on Jordanian universities' students.
The study aimed at exploring the degree of Jordanian universities’ organizational agility and its relation to some variables. The correlational descriptive method was applied. The study sample consisted of (369) faculty members working at three public universities representing the three regions of Jordan: (Yarmouk University/The Northern Region), (The Hashemite University/The Central Region), and (Mutah University/The Southern Region). The study results revealed that the degree of organizational agility at Jordanian universities was moderate, and that there were no statistically significant differences in the degree due to sex, experience, and academic rank, but there were statistically significant differences in that degree due to (country of graduation), in favor of the faculty members who graduated from universities in Arab countries,and due to (university), in favor of The Hashemite University faculty members.
