The Effectiveness of Technological Education in Preparing Students of the Faculty of Education from Their Point of View: Irbid National University as a Model

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of technological education in preparing students of the Faculty of Education from their own perspectives, using Irbid National University as a model. The qualitative approach was adopted due to its appropriateness to the objectives and nature of the study, and interviews were conducted with ten students from the Faculty of Education at Irbid National University. Through the analysis of the interviews, a set of main and sub-traits was identified. The study revealed that the methods of technological education employed in preparing education students were reflected in three main traits: The current reality of technological preparation, the challenges and difficulties facing technological preparation, and students’ proposals from their point of view. These main traits included a total of eleven sub-traits. The study indicates that the educational technology methods used in preparing students of the Faculty of Education can be summarized in several traits that could be enhanced through the involvement of concerned parties. The proposed recommendations could be considered in efforts to activate and advance the educational process.
