Abstract

Objectives: The study aimed to identify the level of academic compatibility among students of Al-Balqa Applied University from their point of view and its relationship to some variables. The study sample consisted of 625 male and female students who were chosen by random stratified method in the second semester of the academic year (2019- 2020). Methods: To achieve the study’s goal, a descriptive approach was used, along with a questionnaire consisting of 40 items as the study tool by reviewing the educational literature and the available measures in previous studies that were similar to the current study. Results: The study concluded that the students' academic success was at a high degree on the items of the scale as a whole, with an arithmetic mean of 3.83. Additionally, there were no statistically significant differences attributed to the study variables, namely: gender (males, females), academic degree for the student (diploma, bachelor), the type of academic major (scientific major, humanitarian major), the student's academic grade (acceptable and good, very good and excellent), and the student's academic level (first and second year, third and fourth year). Conclusion: The study recommends conducting similar studies that address other variables not covered in the current study and comparing their results with the present findings. It suggests developing university courses in line with students' preferences, activating the counseling center at the university to support students in their academic roles, and creating a comfortable academic atmosphere by the university and college administration, considering students' psychological, social, and academic conditions
