Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the Justification; and obstacles in using CD- ROMs by students at An-Najah National University and impact of gender, college, and academic level variables on student's utilization of CD-ROMs. To achieve the goals of the study, a sample of 100 senior and graduate students was chosen. The subjects had used the CD-ROMs as sources between Jan. I-June 1,1998. After data collection, the researcher used SPSS to analyze them. It was found that students had a high degree of justifications for using these CD-ROMs. Percentage of response was 73.8% while degree of obstacles was 56.2%. Pertaining to the role of the three variables. in influencing justifications, it was found that there were statistically significant differences at α=0.05 level which may be attributed to college variable in favor of colleges of science. However, there were no statistically significant differences at α =0.05 level which may be attributed to gender, and academic level variables. Concerning the role of variables in CD-ROM using obstacles, it was found that there were differences between males and females. That is, obstacles facing females were more than those facing males. However, there were no statistically significant differences which may be attributed to college and academic level variables. The researcher has come up with a number of recommendations. Of these.

الملخص

هدفت الدراسة إلى التعرف على تصورات الطلبة لمبررات ومعيقات استخدام أقراص الليزر عند طلبة جامعة النجاح الوطنية، إضافة إلى التعرف على أثر متغيرات الجنس والكلية والمستوى الدراسي على ذلك. لتحقيق ذلك أجريت الدراسة على عينة قواما 100 من طلبة السنة الرابعة وطلبة الدراسات العليا، ممن كانوا يستخدمون هذه الأقراص بطريقة مصدرية في الفترة الزمنية الواقعة بين 1/1/1998 إلى 1998. وبعد عملية جمع البيانات عولجت إحصائياً باستخدام البرنامج الإحصائي (SPSS) حيث أظهرت النتائج أن تصورات الطلبة للمبررات كانت كبيرة عند الطلبة لاستخدام أقراص الليزر حيث وصلت النسبة المئوية للاستجابة إلى (73.8%)، وكانت درجة تصورات الطلبة للمعيقات قليلة حيث وصلت النسبة المئوية للمعيقات إلى (56.2%)، وفي ما يتعلق بدور متغيرات الجنس والكلية والمستوى الدراسي على المبررات كانت هنالك فروق دالة إحصائياً عند مستوى (α= 0.05)، تبعاً لمتغير الكلية لصالح الكليات العلمية، بينما لم تكن الفروق دالة إحصائيا تبعا لمتغيري الجنس إحصائيا عند مستوى (α =0.05) بين الذكور والإناث لصالح الإناث، بمعنى أن المعيقات عند الإناث أكبر، بينما لم تكن الفروق دالة إحصائيا تبعا لمتغير الكلية والمستوى الدراسي.
