Abstract:

The goal of this study is to find out what college students think about taking part in recreational activities in the age of technology.  It specifically aims to investigate these views in relation to characteristics such as college, academic level, and gender.  The study was executed with students from the Faculties of Medicine and Literature at Al-Quds University during the initial semester of the 2022–2023 academic year. A structured questionnaire served as the principal instrument for data collection, while the analytical descriptive method was utilised for result analysis.  The results show that students generally have favourable feelings about engaging in enjoyable and relaxing activities, knowing that they are important for their health and overall well-being in school.  Furthermore, the data indicated no statistically significant differences in students' perspectives depending on gender or college affiliation, implying that both male and female students across all fields equally appreciate recreational involvement.  Nonetheless, the results revealed statistically significant differences concerning the academic level variable, suggesting that students' evaluations of recreational activities change as they grow academically.  These results demonstrate that leisure activities remain important, even in an era where technology and digital engagement are increasingly prevalent. This suggests that universities should promote balanced lifestyles and provide easy opportunities for students to engage in fun and physical activity as part of their overall development programs.
