The study aimed to identifying the differences in the degree of students' trust in teachers according to each type of education, developmental stage, academic specialization, and gender. The study sample consisted of (889) male and female students which is divided to (183) from preparatory school students, (510) from university students and (196) from Post graduate students. The study used the measure of student trust in the teacher (in the school and university images) (prepared by the researcher). To verify the study hypotheses, the researcher used One way ANOVA and two-way ANOVA (2x2), and Independent samples t test. The study found that there were statistically significant differences between types of education (governmental, languages private, international) in (Reliability, Sympathy, competence, and the total degree of trust) and the study used post Hoc test (Lsd)to find out the direction of the differences. The differences were statistically significant between international education and both language education and government education for the international education, and there were statistically significant differences between government education and language education for the government education, While the rest of the differences in the sub-dimensions and the total degree of confidence were not statistically significant except for the competency dimension, the differences were statistically significant for the practical specialization. The results also showed that there were statistically significant differences between genders in the preparatory stage in (competence, Sympathy, Reliability, the total degree) for females, and the differences were statistically significant in the competence dimension for females. The results also indicated that there is statistically significant differences between genders at the postgraduate level in (competence, Sympathy, Reliability, and the total degree of trust) for females, and there is statistically significant differences between ages (early adolescence - late adolescence - adulthood) in (competence, Sympathy, Reliability, the total degree of trust) and to know the direction of the differences, LSD test was used. There were significant differences between the early and late adolescence groups in the Reliability dimension for the early adolescent group, and there was statistically significant differences between the early adolescence and the adulthood in (competence, Sympathy, Reliability, and the overall degree of trust) for the early adolescent group, and there were Statistical significance differences between the late adolescence and the adulthood in (competence, Sympathy, Reliability, the overall degree of trust) for the late adolescence. While the rest of the differences were not statistically significant for the rest of the dimensions between groups. (Published abstract)
