دور أعضاء هيئة التدريس في تعزيز القيم لدى طلبة جامعتي الملك سعود و الأمير سطام بن عبد العزيز

Abstract EN

This study was conducted to identify the instructors’ role in promoting ethics and values amongst their own students as perceived by the students.

The paper used the descriptive approach to collect data from students enrolled in KSU and PSAU Universities.

The paper also sought to compare students’ perception based on a set of variables; namely: 1) university in which they are enrolled, 2) gender, 3) study year and 4) GPA.

Findings revealed that academic staff allocate significant importance to scientific values at the expense of all other values which – as perceived by students – came with a moderate degree and came in the following order: personal, social, religious and patriotic values.

Also, the two institutions do not seem to place the expected effort to promote values in general.

Results showed significant differences that can be attributed to the university variable in favor of KSU, study year in favor of first year and GPA in favor of students with higher GPA.
