The Quality of Distance Learning of Post Graduate Students in the Universities of the Southern Territory from their Perspective
Abstract
This study aims at revealing the quality of distance learning of post graduate students in the universities of the Southern Territory in Jordan from their perspective. The sample of the study consisted of (442) male and female post graduate students from the governmental Jordanian universities: Mutah University, Tafila Technical University and Al-Hussein Bin Talal University. It was chosen by the cluster randomization method. An evaluation instrument was developed to achieve the purpose of this study, which was included (29) items in its final version. The reliability and validity of instruments were verified.The findings of the present study revealed that the estimates of the quality of distance learning of post graduate students in the universities of the southern territory from their perspective were within the moderate degree. The domain designing and developing instructional materials has ranked first, technology infrastructure has ranked second and student support services has ranked last. In addition, the results showed that there aren`t any statistically significant differences at (α ≥ 0.05) between the means of the evaluation estimates due to the educational qualification variable, diploma and bachelor`s degree, in all the domains. It is also concluded that there are statistically significant differences at (α ≥ 0.05) due to the gender variable with regard to student support services in favor of females. The study recommended the necessity of activating the indicators and domains of the quality of distance learning by stimulating universities to adhere to them.
