This study aimed to identify the role of Jordanian universities in enhancing ethical education among their students to deal with the digital age, and to determine the impact of certain independent variables such as gender and faculty type. The study sample consisted of 340 male and female students from public universities (University of Jordan, Mutah University, and Yarmouk University) for the academic year 2024-2025. To achieve the study's objectives, a questionnaire consisting of 24 items was developed, and a descriptive survey methodology was employed.
The results showed that the role of Jordanian universities in enhancing ethical education among their students to deal with the digital age was high across all dimensions. The results also indicated that there were no significant differences at the significance level of (α=0.05) in the study sample's perceptions of the role of Jordanian universities in enhancing ethical education among their students to deal with the digital age, according to the Sex and faculty type variables.
In light of the study's findings, the researchers recommend activating seminars and training courses by specialists to develop students' awareness to understand all that is new in the digital age, including its risks and ethics, and to emphasize the importance of clarifying the ethics of dealing with technology to students.
