Abstract

The research aimed to identify the productive university in terms of concept, objectives, and advantages, in addition to detect the functions and roles of the productive university in the digital age, the most important effects of the digital age on education, and the roles that technological innovations related to the digital age can play in education. The research used the descriptive approach to achieve its goals, and concluded that the productive university's philosophy depends on an educational strategy that takes into account the factual status of society and keeps pace with international challenges, and that the productive university in the digital age seeks to eliminate the gap between the university and the labor market, and between the university and the environment, as well as eliminating the gap Between theoretical and practical education, linking theory to practice, and developing students’ skills and abilities to anticipate the future through developing thinking skills and solving problems in a realistic way.
