A Questionnaire Study on the Practice of Teaching Strategies and Technology Tools in Jordanian Engineering Teaching

Nowadays, emerging technologies are transforming education. Specifically, engineering education has been affected the most from this trend. In fact, the use of technology in teaching and learning influences the teaching and learning experience in our society. Therefore, this work is carried to evaluate the use of modern teaching strategies and technology tools in Jordanian engineering education. This work is to further encourage faculty in Jordanian universities to use digital technologies and adopt recent teaching strategies. This study is a questionnaire-based study that was conducted at engineering faculties in Jordanian universities. One hundred responses from engineering teaching professors were collected through google forms. The results of this pilot study clearly depict that most of the Jordanian engineering teachers are still using the traditional means for teaching engineering. Consequently, there is an essential need to build the capacity of our engineering faculties and enable them to use digital tools to enrich their teaching experience. This study provides an opportunity for policymakers in Jordan to assess the impact of emerging technologies on teaching and learning and update the regulations and policies of education accordingly.
