The Role of Modern Technologies in Promoting Values Among the Students Enrolled at the Faculty of Educational Sciences at the University of Jordan

Abstract

The present study aimed to explore the role of modern technologies in promoting values among the students enrolled at the faculty of educational sciences at the University of Jordan. It aimed to explore that from the perspective of the students themselves. It targets (social, humanitarian, national, and aesthetic) values. A simple random sample was selected. It consists of 320 female and male university students. Those students are enrolled at the faculty of educational sciences at the University of Jordan. To meet the study’s goals, a twenty-eight item questionnaire was developed. This questionnaire sheds a light on 4 areas. It was found that modern technologies play a moderate role in promoting values among the students enrolled at the faculty of educational sciences at the University of Jordan. That’s because the overall mean is 3.43. It was found that there isn’t any statistically significant difference –at the statistical significance level of (a=0.05)- between the respondents’ attitudes in this regard which can be attributed to gender or academic year. That applies to all the areas jointly and separately. Several recommendations are proposed by the researchers. For instance, the researchers recommend using social media by Jordanian universities in order to promote positive values among students
