This study aimed to reveal the degree of awareness of faculty members in Jordanian universities of the role of governance components in developing curricula from their viewpoints. The researcher used descriptive and analytical methods, preparing a questionnaire as a research instrument. The validity and reliability of the instrument were verified. The reliability factor of the tool reached 86%. The research population comprised 179 faculty members through all the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, to which the study instrument was distributed. Ninety Faculty members responded. The study results showed that the degree of awareness of faculty members in Jordanian universities of the role of governance components in developing curricula from their point of view was high, with an arithmetic average 3.78. The dimension of "accountability" received the highest score with arithmetic mean 3.85, the dimension of "effectiveness and efficiency" received the slightest degree with arithmetic mean 3.37. Therefore, the researcher recommends including governance components in school curricula and at all educational levels. There should also be educational programs based on the principles of governance following scientific foundations, preparing training programs for teachers in all dimensions centered on how to possess and apply governance components in the practical educational learning curricula. In addition, there should be conducting more research related to the governance components and their role in curricula development.
