Faculty Incivility in Higher Education of Afghanistan: Students' Perspectives
Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, v53 n1 p133-149 Mar 2022
The study investigated students' perception of faculty incivility in higher educations of Afghanistan. It studied faculty behaviors perceived the most uncivil by students and how often they experienced these behaviors. It also explored the impact of students' gender and ethnicity on their responses. The author collected data from 948 undergraduate students through a questionnaire from four public universities situated in the northeast of Afghanistan. Descriptive and inferential statistics (T test and One-Way ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that students perceived 30 faculty behaviors uncivil to varying extent. They considered six behaviors as the most uncivil ones. Moreover, students experienced faculty uncivil behaviors to varying degree. The most frequently experienced ones were making too hard or tricky exams and grading students based on waseta. The inferential analyses showed that students' gender had a significant impact on students' perceptions and experience of faculty incivility. However, their ethnicity did not significantly influence their responses. The study recommends universities to develop a policy to address both faculty and student incivility in order to create a friendly and safe learning environment for both lecturers and students.
