The Role of the National Education Course in Developing Citizenship Dimensions Among Jordanian University Students: A Case Study of Al-Isra University

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the role of the National Education course in developing the dimensions of citizenship among Jordanian university students, taking Al-Isra University as a model. A questionnaire was designed and validated for reliability and validity to achieve the study’s objectives. It was administered to 334 undergraduate students enrolled in the National Education course during the first semester of the 2024/2025 academic year at Al-Isra University in Jordan. The results revealed that the role of the National Education course in developing the dimensions of citizenship among Jordanian university students was high. The “political dimension” ranked first, while the “economic dimension” ranked fifth and last. The study also found statistically significant differences in the role of the course attributed to gender, with males scoring higher and no statistically significant differences attributed to the type of faculty. Based on these findings, the researcher proposed several recommendations and suggestions.
