الملخص

هدفت الدراسة إلى تقصي دور الجامعات الأردنية في تنمية الوعي السياسي لدى طلبتها وسبل تطويره، من وجهة نظر الطلبة، في ضوء بعض المتغيرات خلال العام الجامعي 2017/2018، اتبعت الدراسة منهج البحث الوصفي والنوعي، اعدت استبانة الدراسة (59) فقرة، نفذت على عينة طبقية قوامها (696) طالبا وطالبة، وكذلك أجريت المقابلات الفردية مع (20) من الطلبة. أظهرت النتائج أن دور الجامعات في تنمية الوعي السياسي لدى الطلبة يقع في مستوى المتوسط: تنمية الوعي بأسس المواطنة والديمقراطية في الرتبة الأولى، تنمية الوعي بتحديات ثورات الربيع العربي والاعلام المصاحب لها في الرتبة الثانية، تنمية الوعي بالنظام السياسي الأردني في الرتبة الثالثة. وعدم وجود فروق احصائية (α = 0.05) تبعا لمتغير دراسة مادة "التربية الوطنية" ومرجعية الجامعة، ووجود فروق تبعا لموقع الجامعة لصالح طلبة جامعات اقليم الجنوب. وبينت النتائج أيضا أن اعادة النظر في السياسات التربوية القائمة، تنويع أساليب التدريس والتقييم، وعصرنة المحتويات الدراسية، وانشاء منتديات التثقيف السياسي على شبكات التواصل الاجتماعي من أبرز سبل تنمية الوعي السياسي لدى الطلبة.
