مدى ملاءمة معايير التصنيف العالمية للجامعات لواقع الجامعات العربية : دراسة تقويمية

Abstract EN

The aim of this research is to explore the appropriateness of the international classification criteria for universities to the Arab universities case.

To achieve this goal, the research begins by presenting the challenges faced by Arab universities, and then examining the most famous criteria of the international classification of universities related to Arab universities.

In order for the study not to be mere theoretical, a questionnaire containing the criteria adopted in the most famous international classifications was developed and distributed to faculty members and officials in Arab universities to inquire about the appropriateness of these criteria for the nature of Arab universities.

The study showed that the selection of Nobel Prizes, and the focus on research published in English, deprived many Arab universities from entering the global classifications.

Accordingly, the study suggested adding new criteria depending on Arab universities situation.

If this is not possible, a new international classification standard must be established, taking into account the specificity of the Arab and Islamic countries.
