| Abstract: | The study was designed to identify the effect of high-order thinking on the quality of life among Ajloun University students. The study used the associative method. The randomly selected sample consisted of 147 students from Ajloun University College. The study used two tools: The two measures were applied to the sample of the current study after extracting the psychometric properties of the two scales in terms of validity and reliability. The results indicated that the high-order thinking among the students was moderate. The students also achieved a medium degree according to the quality of life scale. There was a statistically significant correlation between both the high-order thinking and the quality of life. There were statistically significant differences in quality of life and the level of high-order thinking due to gender variable in favor of males and academic specialization in favor of students of scientific colleges, the study recommended the need for further research and studies on the relationship between quality of life and other variables such as self-efficacy, self-learning, and other variables, and to train students in skills that raise their high-order thinking skills because of their close relationship with quality of life and training programs and semi-empirical studies to improve students' perception of level of life and its quality and satisfaction. |
