Abstract

The study utilized research and analysis to determine the differences in media teaching curricula at Birzeit University in Palestine, the University of Missouri in the United States, and the University of Potsdam in Germany. The researcher employed a descriptive analytical method by selecting an intentional sample using the in-depth interview instrument. The researcher relied on a 19-question survey form divided into three sections. The researcher also used the observation tool by observing the behavior of the phenomenon and its components. The study lasted two years, from September 1, 2019, to November 1, 2021. The study's findings revealed significant discrepancies across the three universities' media faculties in terms of the preference for applied knowledge over theory, with 85% at the University of Missouri, 50% at the University of Potsdam, and 40% at Birzeit University. According to the results, one of the criteria for accepting a student at the University of Potsdam is an average of 85%, compared to 75% at the University of Missouri and 65% at Birzeit University. The percentage of graduate students working in the media field reached 73% at the University of Missouri, compared to 70% at the University of Potsdam and 44% at Birzeit University. According to the results, professors at the University of Missouri are required to conduct one scientific research project each semester in addition to their 6-credit hour load, although no such obligation exists at Birzeit and Potsdam Universities. The study recommended emphasizing the skills aspect at Birzeit University, raising the cumulative average to at least 70, and focusing on opening new majors to reduce unemployment.
