The goal of this study was to evaluate how closely Jordanian and Palestinian university professors follow the recommendations of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). Researchers analyzed a population of all academic staff members teaching at private or public universities in Jordan and Palestine using a descriptive-analytical methodology. A sample of 358 persons was chosen. The questionnaire was distributed and assessed the degree to which faculty members in Jordanian and Palestinian universities adhere to the ISTE requirements. It was found that the degree of adherence to the ISTE standards by faculty members in Jordanian and Palestinian universities was very large. However, it was found that there were no statistically significant differences at the level (α≤0.05) in the degree of adherence to the ISTE standards by faculty members in Jordanian and Palestinian universities according to the variables (country and type university). the study identified a number of recommendations for enhancing Palestinian universities, including scholars, professors, and administrators, complies with the standards established by the International Society of Technology. The report also suggests using technology into the teaching and learning process more.
