Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore the degree to which Jordanian universities support democratic practices among their students. A questionnaire was developed, which was consisted of two parts; the first part contained demographic questions; while the second part contained (33) items divided into four dimensions; freedom, equity and justice, participation, and responsibility. Another questionnaire was consisted of (20) items divided into two dimensions; laws and rules, and activities. The study found that there was a moderate positive correlation between the supporting role of Jordanian universities and democratic practices among students. The study also found that there were no significant differences among students of democratic practices and the demographic variables of the study except in geographic location for the middle location.
