The present study aimed to identify the self-regulation level among university students, and disclose the predictive ability of self-regulation in their academic achievement. The sample of the study consisted of 312 students (177 male and 135 female) chosen from the Jadara University in Jordan by the available method. To achieve the study’s objectives, a self-regulation scale prepared by Mriyan (2010) after verifying its validity and reliability indices. The results indicated that the students have a medium degree of self-regulation on the scale as a whole and the sub-fields. The results of the study also showed there were statistically significant differences (α = 0.05) in the level of self-regulation on the scale as a whole and on the two fields: determining and setting goals and self-control due to gender in favor of females. However; there were no statistically significant differences in students' grades on the two fields' self-observation and selfreaction due to gender. Finally, study results indicated two fields of self-regulation predicted the students' academic achievement: the field of determining and setting goals, and the field of self-act reaction, where the expositor variance ratio for them in the academic achievement amounted to (0.186%).

The present study aimed to identify the scientific research obstacles facing faculty members in the College of Education at Princess Nora bint Abdul Rahman University (PNU) and to determine the differences in the obstacles according to age, academic rank, scientific specialty, marital status, number of completed studies, and time since the last academic rank was received. An initial data form and questionnaire were prepared to identify the obstacles to scientific research. The questionnaire assessed personal and family obstacles, social factors, technical skills, organizational and professional obstacles, and societal obstacles. The researcher assessed the validity and reliability of the survey instrument by testing it on a sample of 23 faculty members at the university. The results demonstrated a high degree of validity (i.e., high internal consistency) and reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient: .97). The study instrument was administered to a final sample of 69 faculty members (out of 111) at the university. The results demonstrated a decrease in the averages of the obstacles. The arithmetic averages for the obstacles were organizational and professional obstacles (2.76), societal obstacles (2.64), personal and family obstacles (1.87), and skills-related obstacles (1.70). The results demonstrated no significant differences for any obstacles with respect to age, academic rank or scientific specialization. There were significant differences in skills-related obstacles according to the number of completed studies; researchers with no completed projects faced greater obstacles. The results also demonstrated significant differences in societal obstacles associated with the length of time since the last academic rank was received.
