Abstract

This study aimed to propose educational requirements for developing the incentives and bonus system for promoting research creativity among students in Jordanian government universities. It aimed to explore the capabilities of students in public universities in demonstrating research creativity and to identify the main problems and barriers hindering the promotion of research creativity among them. The study was conducted during the 2021-2022 academic year. To meet these goals, a qualitative approach was adopted. Data were collected through interviews with a sample of 22 faculty members from Jordanian universities. The findings indicated that the research capabilities of students are good; however, these capabilities are correlated with the students’ enthusiasm for scientific research, knowledge, and future aspirations. It was found that students’ research capabilities require further development. The problems and barriers hindering the promotion of research creativity among students include: the scarcity of financial and laboratory resources, the inadequate number of research courses, a lack of interest in students’ achievements, and poor knowledge of the fundamentals of scientific research. The proposed educational requirements include providing more attention to research courses throughout all academic stages in universities, offering financial support, acquiring the necessary equipment, focusing on empirical studies, and creating an environment that fosters the freedom to engage in scientific critique.
