The Capability to Predict the Behaviors of the Students Enrolled in Jordanian Universities Through Their Aesthetic Values

Abstract

The present study aimed to explore the extent of adopting aesthetic values and doing good behaviors by the students enrolled in Jordanian universities from the perspective of faculty members. It aimed to explore the capability to predict the behaviors of the students enrolled in Jordanian universities through their aesthetic values. A descriptive analytical approach was adopted. In addition, a correlative approach was adopted too. A questionnaire was used for collecting data from 364 female and male faculty members. Those faculty members were selected from (private and public) Jordanian universities. The questionnaire sheds a light on four areas; (the social, behavioral, psychological and affective) areas. It was found that the extent of adopting aesthetic values by the students enrolled in Jordanian universities is moderate from the perspective of faculty members. It was found that the extent of doing good behaviors by the students enrolled in Jordanian universities is moderate from the perspective of faculty members. That means that additional efforts must be exerted by decision makers and educators in order to promote good behaviors and aesthetic values among students in Jordanian universities. It was found that there is a strong correlative relationship between the aesthetic values and the behaviors of the students enrolled in Jordanian universities. That is because the correlative coefficient value is 0.84 and the value of the total sum of squares is 0.68. That means that 68% of the changes in the students’ behaviors are attributed to the aesthetic values. That means that the behaviors of the students enrolled in Jordanian universities can be significantly predicted through their aesthetic values. The researchers of the present study recommend carrying out suitable educational measures in the aim of promoting aesthetic values among the students enrolled in Jordanian universities
