Jordanian college students’ challenges and attitudes towards online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic

Summary/Abstract: As the COVID-19 pandemic strikes Jordan, many universities have implemented online education. However, effective use by students has been hindered by many challenges and attitudes. In this paper, we examine the experiences and attitudes of students during the COVID-19 pandemic in regards to online education, focusing on Al-Balqa Applied University and Jerash University. An online questionnaire was administered to 200 students from 2 different universities who took different online courses through AlBalqa Applied University and Jerash University. The study found that students from Al-Balqa Applied University and Jerash University face similar challenges in e-learning. Moreover, female students suffered more than male students during the pandemic with regard to the challenges they faced in e-learning. In addition, Jerash University students are significantly more disposed to e-learning than students from other universities. In addition, male students are more likely than female students to be positive about e-learning.
