The issue of ”modernization” is of special interest to social
scientists particularly because of the evident differences in various social aspects between
developed and developing societies. As a developing country, Jordan has striven to implement
developmental programmes, thereby hoping to address serious difficulties in various scientific,
economic, political, social and cultural spheres. Amongst the most pressing challenges to be
addressed in Jordan’s programmes has been the modernization of its universities since they are the
incubators of the professional classes. For well over three decades, Jordanian universities have
been in the vanguard of the developmental mission of the country, which included the establishment
and staffing of its modem institutions. As has been shown in related studies and as has been
debated in various conferences and workshops, Jordanian universities have, nonetheless, been
criticized for failing to effectively support development efforts.
Tlris study, therefore, aims to address the following issue: how can Jordanian universities
be developed to better
respond to the requirements of the modernization of Jordan in
general?
In particular, this study attempts to answer the following questions:
1. What are the theories of modernization which are concerned with development in the Third World?
2. What is the status quo of Jordanian universities and Jordanian society?
3. What are the requirements of modernization as reflected in Jordanian official and
non-official documents?
