Many Jordanian university students complain of the behavior of some teaching staff. Also, they complain of the grading systems in universities.
This study concerns the occurrence of different forms of student mistreatment and student mistrust of the grading system in the Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) as an example of universities in Jordan.
A total of 500 students in five health related faculties in JUST responded to a questionnaire.
Our results were as follow: (i) 61% of the students had experienced at least one form of mistreatment; (ii) perceived mistreatment most often (52%) had taken the form of psychological mistreatment (shouting and humiliation); (iii) other forms of mistreatment such as physical harm (32%), mistreatment related to religion (36%), mistreatment related to external appearance (35%), sexual harassment (33%) and mistreatment related to specialty (29%) were also common; (iv) with the exception of mistreatment related to specialty which was high among the nursing students, perceived mistreatment did not vary significantly between the different faculties; (v) the male students (66%) complain more than female students (56%); (vi) perceived mistreatment was exceptionally high among the Israeli Arabs, 83% compared to 59% for the Jordanians and 65% for other non-Jordanian Arabs; (vii) fellow students (44%), professors (37%) and laboratory technicians (19%) were cited as major sources of mistreatment. Many students (66%) believe that grading system in JUST is unfair. Ninety seven percent of the Israeli Arabs did not trust the grading system compared to 64% of the Jordanians and 66% of the non-Jordanian Arabs.
This study suggests that, feelings of mistreatment among university students is strong while their trust of the university grading system is low. Perceived mistreatment and an unfair grading system may be a major source of stress among our students and may affect the process of teaching and learning in our country. This should alert the university administration to face these issues and try to solve them.
许多约旦大学生抱怨一些教师的行为。此外，他们还抱怨大学的评分系统。
本研究以约旦科技大学（JUST）为例，探讨约旦各大学中不同形式的学生受虐情况以及学生对评分系统的不信任。
JUST五个与健康相关专业的500名学生对一份问卷进行了回应。
我们的结果如下：（i）61%的学生至少经历过一种形式的受虐；（ii）最常被感知到的受虐形式（52%）是心理虐待（大喊大叫和羞辱）；（iii）其他形式的受虐，如身体伤害（32%）、与宗教相关的受虐（36%）、与外貌相关的受虐（35%）、性骚扰（33%）以及与专业相关的受虐（29%）也很常见；（iv）除了护理专业学生中与专业相关的受虐比例较高外，不同专业之间感知到的受虐情况没有显著差异；（v）男生（66%）比女生（56%）抱怨更多；（vi）以色列阿拉伯学生中感知到的受虐情况格外高，为83%，相比之下约旦学生为59%，其他非约旦阿拉伯学生为65%；（vii）同学（44%）、教授（37%）和实验室技术员（19%）被认为是受虐的主要来源。许多学生（66%）认为JUST的评分系统不公平。97%的以色列阿拉伯学生不信任评分系统，相比之下约旦学生为64%，非约旦阿拉伯学生为66%。
本研究表明，大学生中的受虐感强烈，而他们对大学评分系统的信任度较低。感知到的受虐和不公平的评分系统可能是我们学生压力的主要来源，可能会影响我国的教学过程。这应提醒大学管理层正视这些问题并努力解决它们。
