Abstract

This study aimed to identify the degree of innovative leadership practices among faculty members in education colleges in Jordan from students' perspectives. The study applied the analytical approach on a sample of (305) students chosen randomly from different education colleges in Jordan to determine the degree of innovative leadership practices among faculty members in education colleges in Jordan from the students' perspectives, and to know the differences between the averages of the sample members' responses on the total degree of the questionnaire as well. The results showed that the answers of the sample members on the total degree of the questionnaire about innovative leadership practice among faculty members in education colleges in Jordan from students' perspectives were medium. The results also indicated that there was no statistically significant difference between the averages of the sample members' responses on the total score of the questionnaire attributed to the variable of gender, and that there is a statistically significant difference between the averages of responses on the total score of the questionnaire attributed to the variables of educational level and age. The researchers recommended a number of recommendations the most important of which is that the education colleges in Jordan should direct their efforts to enhance and encourage faculty members to practice innovative leadership and adopt innovative principles in the educational process.
