Intelligent Behavior and its Relation to the Technical Knowledge of University Students

The present study aims at knowing the level of smart behavior for university students and knowing the level of technical knowledge and knowing the statistically significant differences according to the variables of gender (male female), and the major (scientific human), as well as knowing the correlative coefficient between the smart behavior and technical knowledge for university students. The study sample includes (301) male and female student from scientific and human departments. The study instruments comprised of the scale of smart behavior (Al-Saffar, 2008) and the other is for technical knowledge (Marwan, 2008). The scale of smart behavior derived both the apparent validity and constancy by the test and retest method, while the scale of technical knowledge derived the apparent validity and constancy by the retest as follows The university students enjoy smart behavior higher than the pattern of society. And there are statistically significant differences for the males and scientific major. The measurement of technical knowledge showed that students enjoy higher levels if knowledge than the society and that the difference in technical knowledge was more for the scientific major as far as the relation between the smart behavior and technical knowledge was positive and good.
