Abstract

Faculties of Medicine, Information Technology, and Arts at the University of Benghazi. It also sought to determine whether there are statistically significant differences in the level of academic boredom based on the following variables: gender, academic major, and academic level. The study was conducted on an available purposive sample consisting of 201 male and female students. The descriptive comparative approach was employed to achieve the study’s objectives, and data were collected using the Academic Boredom Sources Scale (developed by the researcher). The findings revealed significantly high levels of academic boredom and its sources among students of the three faculties. No statistically significant differences were observed in academic boredom levels based on gender (male vs. female). However, statistically significant differences were found concerning the academic major, favoring students from the Faculty of Medicine, and regarding academic level, favoring advanced years, particularly fifth-year students at the Faculty of Medicine. The study recommends improving the educational environment and adopting interactive teaching methods to reduce academic boredom among university students
