E-mail: [email protected] Received: May 24, 2020 Accepted: June 24, 2020 Online Published: July 15, 2020 doi:10.5539/jas.v12n8p265 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/jas.v12n8p265 Abstract This study investigated Knowledge and Perception of Nanotechnology among Students of Agricultural Faculties’ in Jordan. The research was based on distributing a questionnaire. This study collected data from 485 respondents, of which 410 were analyzed. The results revealed that a very significant finding that the majority of the investigated students (45%) have already heard the word ‘nanotechnology’, though (72%) of those (45%) do not know about nanotechnology very well. The results of the present study indicated that students have basic or no enough knowledge about nanotechnology. The results also showed that students were with a very superficial knowledge of Nanotechnology. Moreover, none of the examined variables has no significant effect on the perception toward nanotechnology. Even though it is expected that students with higher years of study could show more expertise and acquire more developed topics such as the Nanotechnology concept, the students showed similar knowledge of Nanotechnology regardless of their year in study.
