Computers and computer‐assisted instruction are being used with increasing frequency in the area of health science student education, yet students’ attitudes towards the use of e‐learning technology and computer‐assisted instruction have received limited attention to date. The purpose of this study was to investigate the significant predictors of health science students’ attitudes towards e‐learning and computer‐assisted instruction. All students enrolled in health science programmes (n=2885) at a large multi‐campus Australian university in 2006‐2007, were asked to complete a questionnaire. This included the Online Learning Environment Survey (OLES), the Computer Attitude Survey (CAS), and the Attitude Toward Computer‐Assisted Instruction Semantic Differential Scale (ATCAISDS). A multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the significant predictors of health science students’ attitudes to e‐learning. The Attitude Toward Computers in General (CASg) and the Attitude Toward Computers in Education (CASe) subscales from the CAS were the dependent (criterion) variables for the regression analysis. A total of 822 usable questionnaires were returned, accounting for a 29.5 per cent response rate. Three significant predictors of CASg and five significant predictors of CASe were found. Respondents’ age and OLES Equity were found to be predictors on both CAS scales. Health science educators need to take the age of students and the extent to which students perceive that they are treated equally by a teacher/tutor/instructor (equity) into consideration when looking at determinants of students’ attitudes towards e‐learning and technology.

Today, improving instructional technologies have increased at a significant pace particularly with the introduction of computers in education. Computers have contributed greatly to every field of education. Computers have supported the preparation of powerful audio-visual materials with multiple-media features and have also empowered the education sector with the software options intended for different fields. Consequently; computer-assisted education (CAE) has come into its own.As the use of computers has become widespread and computers have found an important place in education, attitudes about computer-assisted education have become important, as well. Particularly the empowerment of the attitudes of teacher candidates, as the educators of the future, toward computer-assisted education, is a significant gain for education.Computer literacy lessons provided for in education faculties are significant in that they may help teacher candidates to prepare computer-assisted education materials and to use computers effectively in education process.Finding out whether the attitudes toward computer-assisted education have positive impact on exam anxiety in computer lessons, analysing the factors which determine the attitudes, and understanding the reasons for anxiety will be useful in carrying out new researchers in order to make significant contributions to education processes.This research included 46 teacher candidates studying Computer-Assisted Music Teaching in the Department of Music Teaching Education at Marmara University. The students completed the exam anxiety inventory and CAE attitude scale prior to administration of the computer-assisted music education exam. The results of the research indicated a significant negative relationship between the students’ CAE attitude levels and their anxiety levels. Findings of the scales showed that, CAE attitudes were high and anxiety levels were low. Findings of the study indicated that the computer education they received contributed positively to their computer experiences and their attitudes towards CAE.

As information and communication technology has permeated all aspects of life education cannot be considered an exception either. The schools of the 21st century require the use of the latest digital devices whose effectiveness is greatly determined by the motivation, ICT-related attitude, and the respective competences of teachers managing and directing the given teaching and learning process. Since P.E. also requires the use of information and communication devices it would be crucial that prospective teachers develop a positive attitude toward such equipment. The present research aims at exploring the attitudes of students applying to P.E. teacher programs at the Eszterházy Károly University toward such instruments and approaches. Additional research objectives include the exploration of potential correlation between the sex of the applicants and the respective attitudes. Our inquiry utilized the questionnaire method and the computer-based attitude scale was completed by a sample of 130 applicants in the 2016/2017 and the 2017/2018 academic years. Our research concluded that both men and women maintain a positive attitude toward the use of digital devices, or the tools of information and communication technology. Students representing both sexes consider the computer as a valuable learning device promoting the efficiency of the knowledge acquisition process. Furthermore, a significantly greater proportion of male respondents stated that they were capable of repairing computer problems emerging during use than that of their female counterparts. At the same time men are less apprehensive to use computers during instruction and this attitude appears to be an indispensable requirement for the application of ICT devices in class. The research can contribute to a deeper exploration of the given field along with performing a gap filling function as such examination has not yet been conducted among applicants to P.E. programs provided by higher education institutions in Hungary.

Full textAbstract:
The advancement of information and communication technology has redirected the emphasis of education and training from teacher-centered, directive approaches to those that include technology. The use of computers as a principal instrument for enhancing education in contemporary classrooms is well-established. Each individual must navigate their own path of acclimatization to this new development and its ramifications. In this study, the focus was on contrasting the perspectives of male and female school students in Ranchi regarding the use of computers. For the purpose of this descriptive research study, the Student Computer Attitude Scale, which was designed and validated by Ghosh (2025), was utilized to collect data from one hundred different pupils. Random selection was used to pick the participants from among a number of educational institutions located in Ranchi. When conducting the analysis of the data, we utilized the t-test, percentage, mean, and standard deviation values. According to the findings, there was not a statistically significant difference in the average scores on the student computer attitude scale. According to the findings of the study, students should be given more opportunities to use computers in order to reduce their anxiety and make the most of their potential applications in everyday life.

Full textAbstract:
(1) Background: Nurses’ attitudes toward electronic health records (EHRs) is a very valuable issue that needs to be evaluated, understood, and considered one of the main factors that can lead to its improvement or handicap its implementation. This study aimed to assess nurses’ attitudes toward EHRs and associated factors that affect the implementation of EHRs in different hospitals in Saudi Arabia. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study was utilized to collect data from 297 nurses working in public hospitals and primary healthcare centers in Ha’il Province from January to May 2023. Data were collected using the Nurses’ Attitudes Towards Computerization questionnaire and a sociodemographic and work-related characteristics sheet. (3) Results: Most of the participants’ attitude scores (81.1%, n = 241) were more than or equal to 60, representing positive attitudes, whereas 18.9% (n = 56) of the nurses’ scores were less than 60, which is interpreted as negative attitudes. There was a significant relationship between nurses’ attitudes toward EHRs and a participants’ sex, where males had a more positive attitude than females (p < 0.001). Particularly, young nurses and those who had previous computer experience had a more positive attitude than older nurses and those who had no computer experience (p = 0.044 and < 0.001, respectively). Saudi nurses holding a master’s degree had significantly more positive attitudes toward EHRs than non-Saudi nurses holding a bachelor’s or diploma degree (p = 0.007 and 0.048, respectively). Nurses with less experience (less than five years) in the nursing field had a significantly positive attitude. Multiple linear regression showed that sex (p = 0.038), level of education (p = 0.001), and previous computer experience (p < 0.001) were independent factors of nurses’ knowledge of EHRs. (4) Conclusion: The majority of nurses had positive overall attitudes toward using EHRs. Nurses who are Saudi nationals, male, younger, have previous computer experience, and have less than five years of experience had a more positive attitude toward EHRs than nurses who are non-Saudi, female, older, have no computer experience, have bachelor’s or diploma degree, and have less than five years of experience, respectively. Sex, education level, and previous computer experience were independent factors of nurses’ knowledge of EHRs.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of certain variables chosen (gender, financial state of the family, educational background of the parents, a computer available for use at home and the number of siblings) and technology-supported project-based learning approach applied in the physics course on 11th-grade students’ attitudes towards computers and to evaluate the participating students’ views at the end of the study about the applications they actively took part in. In order to determine the students’ attitudes towards computers, the computer attitude scale was used. The study was carried out with thirty two 11th-grade students in the academic year of 2009-2010. Before starting the applications, the computer attitude scale was applied to the students as a pre-test. The three-hour physics courses were executed with simulations and animations in two course-hours and with the project-based learning approach in the other course-hour. At the end of the applications, the computer attitude scale was applied to the students as a post-test. In order to determine the students’ views about the process as well as about computers, semi-structured interviews were held with them. The results of the analysis demonstrated that there was a significant difference between the computer attitude mean scores of the students before and after the experimental process in favor of the post-test mean scores. But, there were no differences among their attitude scores according to certain variables. The interviews held with the students revealed that the students had positive views about the process and computers.

Attitude plays a very significant role in acceptance of any idea or innovation. Research has established the significance of computers and the attitude of headteachers which can either be a hindering or a facilitating factor for computer integration in education. To explore this phenomenon in a Pakistani context, this study was conceptualised, while the subsidiary aim was also to explore the relationship between demographic characteristics of the participants and their attitude. A survey questionnaire was adopted to gather data with a sample of 185 headteachers to assess the four perceived factors’ impact; educational, social, training needs and self-confidence. The results show that the participants’ perceived attitude towards computers in education is positive while their perceived social impact of computers and their self-confidence found to be lower than the educational and training needs. Correlation analyses revealed significant associations between the headteachers’ attitude and the use of computers and prior training. In sub-scales model, prior training contributes to the training needs’ model while use of computer, contributed to the self-confidence model.

Teachers play an important role in the implementation of Computer Assisted Language Learning(CALL) into language classes and their attitudes have proved to be significant predictors of using technology in their classes. In other words, Teachers’ attitudes are considered as a major factor that influences the use of new technologies in the educational settings. Thus, their attitudes toward computer can play an important role in the acceptance and actual use of technology in teaching in general and language teaching in particular. A review of the literature shows many examples of student voice reports, but not enough studies have conducted on teachers’ attitudes towards CALL. This study was an attempt to address the possible differences between the English and Russian language teachers' attitudes towards incorporating CALL into their teaching professions. To this end a number of 53 English teacher and 52 Russian language teachers participated in the study. They were asked to fill the E & L teachers' attitude toward CALL questionnaire.The collected data was analyzed using SPSS 22 through running independent sample T- test. The result indicated that there is a significant difference between English and Russian teachers' attitude towards CALL. Moreover, it was concluded that English language teachers have more positive views towards incorporating CALL into their teaching.

New teaching and learning techniques are developing day by day with the support of information technology and the Internet. Many universities take the advantage of support of information technologies on teaching and learning environments. Each individual’s physical, mental and emotional skills are different. It is emphasized that, more importance are given to individuals performances while they are in groups in those places where the traditional teaching approaches is dominated. At this point, individual performance of individuals and their different learning abilities could not be evaluated alone and left in the background. In these places, it is also stated the importance of learning in groups but not individually. The attitude of an individual towards the computer could be defined as a positive or negative view of the individual on the computer technology or the computer-supported applications. In the development of the attitude of the students, their personal characteristics, perception of computers, frequency of their use of computers, their sex, age and previous experiences play an important role. Some experts find it striking that when attitudes towards the computers are investigated, the researches are concentrated more on teachers and teachers-to-be, while studies on establishing the attitude of students are limited in number. For that reason, this study focuses on impact of determinants of student performance and evaluates this performance through an exploratory research.

AbstractWith the introduction of information and communications technology (ICT) into the school curriculum, students are now expected to use ICT efficiently within their lessons, regardless of subject, with teachers responsible for this integration. It has therefore become necessary to monitor how students perceive ICT and whether the increased usage within the classroom is leading to the development of positive attitudes. Yet computer technology is developing and changing constantly. These developments have led to the need to modify existing computer attitude scales in order to take account of new developments and to enable teachers and educationalists to assess the value of ICT inclusion within the school timetable as well as the affects of specific computer related projects and initiatives. The Jones & Clarke (1994) Computer Attitude Scale for Secondary Students (CASS) provided the basis by which a tripartite frame of attitudes towards computers could be assessed, these being affective, behavioural and cognitive attitude components. The aim of this study was to develop a psychometrically sound instrument suitable for use with today’s level of computer technology, building upon the work of Jones and Clarke. In this study, 147 12-year-old students participated in the development of a new attitude scale. This instrument was found to be psychometrically sound yielding Cronbach’s alpha for each attitude subscale of .87 (affective), .64 (behavioural) .72 (cognitive) and .91 (total). Test–retest reliability scores were also satisfactory (r = .83, p < .001). Finally a test of criterion validity was deemed to be satisfactory with differences in attitude scores noted for two out of three attitude components and total attitude scores between groups yielding differential scores on levels of computer engagement.

This article reported a simple survey on diploma students’ attitudes towards science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) objectively to get an initial impression of students taking a STEM-related diploma program. The targeted respondents were diploma students pursuing computer science programs in a Malaysian public university. A quantitative approach using a quantitative survey was used in which data were systematically elicited from 16 male and 17 female students using a questionnaire containing Likert-scale items. The questionnaire consists of three constructs: attitude toward science (8 items), attitude toward technology and engineering (8 items), and attitude toward mathematics (8 items). All constructs use a 5-point Likert scale for the response scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). Descriptive analysis showed that the respondents’ attitude ranged between moderately to highly positive towards STEM with no significance different variation between genders across the STEM fields. Interestingly, they also had, generally, moderate consideration for careers in STEM fields (the average values ranged between 27.2% and 42.4%) with male respondents had very low agreements (18.7%) to consider careers related to technology and engineering fields. Such results were a bit discouraging as the respondents were all pursuing a diploma in computer science. Thus, more efforts are needed by the university to give more exposures and experiences to refine the students’ attitude during their study, to boost their confidence and interest to pursue a career suitable with their diploma certificates.

A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate whether the variables age, gender, training to use e-learning tools, e-learning experience, internet access, and computer skills were associated with the lecturer’s attitudes towards e-learning. The study consisted of thirty-eight randomly selected lecturers at BA ISAGO University, Gaborone campus. The data was collected using a closed-ended questionnaire with items that seek to ascertain their attitudes towards e-learning. To test out the study hypothesis descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations and independent samples t-test were computed. The results indicated that half of the participants had positive attitudes towards e-learning. Proving that e-learning was an acceptable teaching method to be utilised at this tertiary education institution. The study further showed that age and gender were not significantly associated with the lecturers’ attitudes towards e-learning. Also, the results indicated that there was no significant relationship between attitudes towards e-learning and training to use e-learning tools, e-learning experience, internet access as well as computer skills. It was therefore concluded that these variables had no impact on attitudes of lecturers towards e-learning as lecturers had become competent and confident in using computers as part of teaching methodology at BA ISAGO University. It is crucial for this university to strengthen the digital culture through training and support, and motivational strategies to build positive attitude towards e-learning.

Full textAbstract:
The paper aims to explore the ways social media use is linked with paranoia, and how they influence buyers’ attitudes and intentions in online shopping, thus shaping overall consumer behaviour. The theoretical analysis suggests that paranoia, being influenced by social media use, plays a noticeable role in the process of online shopping. The main assumption is that paranoia is an antecedent of the attitude towards online purchasing and mediates effects of other factors towards it. This is confirmed with SEM modelling on the basis of empirical data: the analysis provides evidence that paranoia is an important antecedent of the attitude towards purchasing online and mediates relationships between computer competence, cyber-fear, social media use and the attitude towards online shopping. Additionally, a contradictory relation between paranoia and online purchasing intention is observed. Overall, these findings disclose a new important factor in online shopping and outline several new directions for future research.

Nowadays, there is a scaling up propensity in the transition from the use of classic computer technologies such as personal computers (PC) to mobile technologies such as mobile phones and tablet devices. Now, many of learners have already such devices especially during pandemic. Thus, learners are exactly equipped for mobile learning applications today. A number of apps have been and used for English Language Teaching (ELT). In this study, it is aimed to inspect the use of mobile applications improved for smart mobile phones and / or tablet devices to learn foreign languages (English). To this end, a classroom practice consisting of two groups of 100 students will be applied as experimental and control groups. Apps will be combined into English teaching and learning inside and outside the classroom. Lastly, pre-training and post-training questionnaires will be conducted to find learners’ perceptions and attitudes about practice. Thence, the advantages and boundaries of mobile apps for their use in teaching English and learners’ attitudes, motivation, and anxiety towards learning English via Apps will be explored.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates mathematics teachers’ readiness towards Education 4.0 and their attitude towards the use of technology in teaching mathematics. The study participants included 162 mathematics teachers in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. A quantitative approach with a questionnaire was employed in this study. Data collected were analysed by using descriptive and t-tests and analysis of variance using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 27. The overall results for mathematics teachers’ readiness towards Education 4.0 lead to uncertainty, which indicates that teachers are still not prepared and lack knowledge about Education 4.0. When grouped according to age, gender and grade level taught, the results show that there is no significant difference between teachers’ readiness towards Education 4.0. Meanwhile, for attitude, the results reveal that teachers have a positive attitude towards the use of technology in teaching mathematics, regardless of their age, gender or grade level taught. However, it shows a significant difference between male and female teachers’ attitudes. For age and grade level taught, the results show no significant difference between mathematics teachers’ attitudes towards the use of technology in teaching the subject. Therefore, the study recommends that teachers should strengthen their positive attitude towards the use of technology in teaching and learning and that the higher authorities also should participate in providing teachers knowledge on Education 4.0 and helping them adapt to current educational changes.

Full textAbstract:
Context: The use of technology and computers in health care has been reported to improve nurses' decision-making and competencies, which in turn increase the quality of health-care practice.
 Aim: of this study is to assess and compare nursing students’ computer self-efficacy and attitudes toward its use in a health care setting in the Faculty of nursing – Benha and Hail Universities.
 Methods: A descriptive comparative cross-sectional study design was used to achieve the current study aim. The study conducted in the Faculty of Nursing - Banha University, Egypt, and Faculty of Nursing – Hail University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Quota sampling of 219 students was chosen as follows; 190 students from the Faculty of Nursing - Banha University and 29 students from the Faculty of Nursing – Hail University. A structured self-administered questionnaire covering sociodemographic data, the pretest for attitudes toward computers in healthcare, and computer self-efficacy scales were the tool used to collect the study data. 
 Results: 33% of nursing students from Benha University were have a realistic view of current computer capabilities in health care. In contrast, 28% of nursing students from Hail had a very positive view of computer use in health care. Nursing students at Hail University have the highest mean score compared to Benha nursing students (79.45±15.85 & 61.2±7.25, respectively) in their attitudes toward computer and computer self-efficacy. Benha nursing students have moderate computer self-efficacy compared with Hail nursing students who have a high computer self-efficacy level. A highly statistically significant relationship was detected between students' attitudes toward computers and computer self-efficacy (p-value=0.000). Also, there was a highly positive, statistically significant correlation between the demographic variables of nursing students and both students’ attitudes toward computers in health care and computer self-efficacy (p-value =0.00).
 Conclusion: Nursing students in both universities have a positive attitude toward computer use. A significant difference between the mean scores of the two groups in their attitude toward computer and self-efficacy was detected, with a highly statistically significant correlation between both students’ attitudes and their self-efficacy. Also, a significant relationship revealed between the studied students’ demographics and their attitude and self-efficacy. Future studies are recommended to evaluate existing technologies in terms of acceptance, effectiveness, and efficiency in real-life settings and to examine its effect on patient outcomes. Nurse educators should design training courses and educational programs to enhance computer self-efficacy beliefs among nursing students.

BackgroundTelesurgery has become helpful in overcoming the current shortage of surgeons and reducing the barriers to timely and effective surgical intervention caused by long-distance travel, which is caused by distance, cost, complexity and frequent hazards. However, knowledge and attitude remain challenges in the implementation of such a system.ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess physicians’ knowledge and attitude towards telesurgery and associated factors at resource-limited setting, Northwest Ethiopia.Method and analysisA simple random sampling method was carried out to choose study participants from each referral hospital, and data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to estimate knowledge and attitudes towards telesurgery among physicians and to identify factors associated with physician knowledge and attitudes towards telesurgery.Study designCross-sectional study design.SettingThis study was conducted at six specialised referral hospitals and two specialised and teaching referral hospitals in the Amhara region, northwest Ethiopia.Result408 physicians were included for analysis, with a response rate of 96.45%. Among study participants, 47.8% and 43.1% had good knowledge and attitudes towards telesurgery, respectively. Educational status, digital literacy, source of information, computer training, digital health training and internet access in the organisation were factors associated with a physician’s knowledge of telesurgery. Moreover, physician’s knowledge, technology use, educational status, computer training, computer access and internet access in the organisation were factors associated with physicians’ attitudes towards telesurgery.Conclusion and recommendationAlmost half of physicians had good knowledge, and less than half had a good attitude towards telesurgery, so healthcare policy-makers should improve physicians’ digital literacy, technology use and internet access to enhance their knowledge and attitudes for future implementation.

Full textAbstract:
All aspects of human life are witnessing the impact of computers. Computers are being used in education since 1960 and the advent of micro-computers in the 1970s increased their usage in education. There are different uses of computers in education for teaching, learning, data storage, administration, research, and evaluation, etc. The use of computers in teaching has a lot of potential in the form use of computer-assisted instruction in schools. The need and significance of the study are evident from the following. It is a common observation that Urdu medium schools are ill-equipped as far as the academic and infrastructural facilities are concerned. The lack of qualified teachers and further lack of latest technologies and training of teachers in the use of the latest developments affect directly and indirectly the student community. Hence, there is a need to fill this vacuum and the initiative can be taken up in the form of the use of computer-assisted instruction. Some teachers feel that the use of computers is interference, and impediment in their work, and computers try to replace classroom teachers but this is actually not so. The CAI programmes are just a supplementary effort and hence, teachers' attitude has to be known.

Using the technology acceptance model (TAM), this study aimed to investigate the acceptability of video game technologies (serious games) for medical emergency procedure and decision making training. Using the Triage Trainer, a prototype serious game for the triage sieve process, differences between gamers and non-gamers, males and females, and the effects of ratings of computer self efficacy (i.e. computer skill and gaming skill) and attitudes towards computers (i.e. enthusiasm and anxiety) on the acceptance model were also investigated. The results show significant correlations for computer self-efficacy and attitude variables with the perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU) and attitudes towards use (ATU) of the game. Multiple regression showed that 52% of the variance in ATU was explained by the PU and PEOU. However, none of the secondary variables (self efficacy or emotions) had a significant effect on the ATU, PU and PEOU over and above each other.

Full textAbstract:
The widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) has been growing in various fields. While concerns about the use of basic computer technology still continue today, anxiety about a new technological revolution, artificial intelligence, has also surrounded the education sector. The cause of anxiety can be derived from knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards the use of technologies. In this study, the attitudes and anxiety levels of administrators and teachers in primary and secondary schools towards artificial intelligence and the relationship between anxiety and attitude scores were investigated. A total of 130 participants, consisting of administrators and teachers, participated in this study. In this context, survey models are one of the quantitative research methods. Artificial intelligence attitude and anxiety scales were used in accordance with the data collection method. When the research results are corrected, there is a negative relationship between the attitude variable towards artificial intelligence and the anxiety variable; as the attitude increases, the anxiety level decreases. It is seen that administrators and teachers experience significant anxiety.

Full textAbstract:
Children's attitudes toward and perceptions of the use of computers were monitored in two upper primary classrooms over a nine-month period, following the introduction of computer use. Unstructured use during non-class hours became the dominant pattern in both classrooms, with boys dominating the access and use in one of these classrooms. The resulting reduced computer use by girls contributed to the boys' and teachers' perceptions that girls are less interested in computers. Girls tended to be less positive than boys about the usefulness of computers in the classroom and their attitude scores were even more polarized after the year's experiences. The research highlights the potential role that patterns of computer use in classrooms may play in the formulation of children's attitudes toward and perceptions of computers.

Full textAbstract:
The study examined the extent to which computer self-efficacy, attitude towards computer and identification with Internet determined the Internet use among librarians in public universities in western Nigeria. The study adopted the descriptive research design of the ex-post facto type. The target population for the study were librarians in public universities in western Nigeria. One hundred and seventeen librarians participated in the study. Computer self-efficacy inventory, Computer attitude inventory, identification with Internet inventory, and Internet use inventory were used to obtain data. Five hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson product moment correlation and multiple regression. Results indicated that a combination of computer self-efficacy, attitude towards computer and identification with Internet had significant positive relationship with Internet use (R= 0.509, p 0.05) and contributed 25.9% of the variance in Internet use. Identification with Internet (β = 0.464, t = 4.946, P 0.05) and computer self-efficacy (β = 0.200, t = 2.370, P 0.05) were found to be significant predictors of Internet use. Internet use among librarians had significant positive relationship with identification with Internet (r = 0.455, P 0.05) and Computer self- efficacy (r = .309, P 0.05) but had no significant relationship with attitude towards computer (r = 0.098, P 0.05). Computer self-efficacy, attitude towards the computer and identification with the Internet significantly determined the use of Internet among librarians in public universities in western Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that the administrators of university libraries take these factors into account when making organizational policies.

Full textAbstract:
The Computer Technology Hassles Scale was developed to measure technostress or computer-related stress. The Computer Technology Hassles Scale was based on the idea that certain interactions with computer technology are perceived by people to be stressful or a “hassle.” Subjects rated a list of 65 “hassles” as to severity, using a graded response. To ascertain the relation of the Computer Technology Hassles Scale to other measures, the subjects were given the Perceived Stress Scale, a measure of global stress. Subjects were also given a measure of computer attitudes, the Computer Attitude Scale. Demographic data on each subject were also collected. The correlational analyses showed that scores on the Computer Technology Hassles Scale were significantly correlated with scores on the Perceived Stress Scale and the number of hours of computer use but not with attitudes toward computers. These results suggest that the Computer Technology Hassles Scale taps a dimension of psychological stress and that increased computer use for some people leads to increased computer-related stress.

AbstractPupil reports of home and school use of computers were obtained from questionnaires completed by Y4 -Y6 pupils in seven schools. Most pupils had access to a home computer and used it much more than school computers. Boys and girls did not differ in overall home use or in their overall positive attitude towards computers, but there were some significant differences in their patterns of usage, and in certain specific views and attitudes associated with differing levels of performance in maths and reading. Total home use of computers had virtually zero correlation with attainment and value-added in maths and reading, while total school use was inversely related to performance in maths. A number of potentially positive and negative aspects of using computers in particular ways were identified, especially the possibly harmful effect of allowing children to play computer games in school.

While there is much literature suggesting reasons why there are differences between males and females with respect to computer usage, achievement and attitudes, there is a paucity of empirical research. This study discusses a meta-analysis or synthesis of empirical studies and finds small differences in attitude and no differences in achievement between males and females. Two Australian studies are then reported. One study investigated differences between male and female students, parents, and teachers in 32 schools that have been involved with computers for some time. The second study was based on a representative sample of 1000 schools throughout Australia. The research supported the conclusion of small differences in attitudes, but pointed to a polarity in that as many males as females liked computers, but many more girls ardently disliked computers. There were no differences between primary male and female students in usage and attitudes towards computers, but as the students progressed through secondary schools, the differences became marked. Various reasons for these findings are evaluated and some strategies suggested to encourage girls to use computers.

Full textAbstract:
The study sought to establish teachers’ perception on the use of computers to facilitate teaching and learning in Nyagatare District, Rwanda. The study was descriptive in nature. The target population was 74 teachers from which 53 participated in the study through filling a questionnaire. The study revealed that participating teachers appreciated the role of computer in facilitating learning. Teachers rated themselves as moderately computer-literate but schools did not have equipped computer laboratories and therefore access to computers was limited. As a result, teachers used their personal computers to facilitate the teaching and learning process. Based on the conclusions, the study recommends that schools should work hard together with the Ministry of Education and other stakeholders towards attainment of equipped computer laboratories. To enhance teachers’ computer literacy and positive attitude towards computer use, continuous professional development is highly recommended.

This paper is a report of a study carried out to establish the relationship that existed between principals’ Perception towards computer application and the actual computer use by principals in public secondary schools in Kiambu County. Computer use in schools administration is a contemporary issue in the improvement of quality leadership in schools. The study was triggered by the need for effective leadership in schools which would lead to improved academic performance in Kiambu County, a county surrounding the Kenyan capital city of Nairobi.. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The target population for this study was 307 principals of public secondary schools in Kiambu County. The study sample comprised of 205 principals which translated to 67% of the target population. Simple randomand purposive sampling techniques were used in the selection of the respondents. A questionnaire was used for data collection. Relationship between the two variables under study was established by use of spearman rho. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Chi- square test of independence through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) were used to test the null hypotheses. The study found out that principal’s attitude towards use of computers influenced the use of computers among school principals. The study recommended that the MOE in collaboration TSC to mount regular ICT workshops to sensitize school principals on the need to use computers in school administration with a view of changing their attitudes towards computer use.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) compared with traditional classroom instruction of mathematics of seventh graders in Kuwait’s public schools. We aimed to compare students learning outcomes between two groups: the control group, taught traditionally without the use of computers, and the experimental group, receiving CAI supported instruction in the same grade level. We examined the difference in learning outcomes and attitudes towards mathematics between the CAI and traditional instruction groups. This quasi-experimental research followed the pre-test/post-test equivalent group design. The CAI group used a combination of discovery-environment and simulation software supported by the Cambridge HOTmaths environment. Results indicate that total gain in mathematics achievement from CAI is statistically significantly higher than with traditional teaching methods. CAI was more effective in increasing students’ mathematical comprehension and application skills in the experimental group. Components related to the development of total attitude towards each of mathematics enjoyment, mathematics values, mathematics learning, and attitude towards mathematics favored the experimental group. Overall, the significance tests supported our hypotheses that CAI could contribute effectively to teaching methods; made it possible to improve students’ mathematics achievement and increase positive attitude towards the subject.

Full textAbstract:
Social Studies, as a subject at the secondary school level in Nigeria, have yet to achieve its objectives fully because of the traditional teaching approach of Social Studies teachers and their reluctance to adopt modern technology, especially computer-assisted instruction (CAI), which is crucial in promoting teachers’ efficiency and improving students’ academic performance in parallel with the global best practices in education. This study investigated Social Studies teachers’ attitudes toward the use of CAI in enhancing classroom instruction and the role of qualifications and school location in their attitudes toward CAI. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study comprising four hundred and twenty-seven (427) secondary school Social Studies teachers. A 22-item Teachers Computer Attitude Scale (CAS) was used for data collection. The instrument was pilot tested on 30 Social Studies teachers, which yielded an internal consistency index of 0.79. The results indicated that Social Studies teachers had a negative attitude toward the use of computers in classroom instruction. A significant difference existed in attitudes toward the use of CAI based on teacher location (t=2.50, P= 0.05). There was no significant difference in attitudes toward the use of CAI based on teacher qualifications (t=0.164, P=0.901). In general, Social Studies teachers demonstrated negative attitudes toward the use of CAI, but urban teachers had more positive attitudes than did rural teachers, whereas there was no difference in attitudes among participants on the basis of their educational qualifications. On the basis of these findings, teachers should be given frequent government-sponsored in-service training on the use of computers to teach Social Studies.

Background and objective: The successful adoption of technology is becoming increasingly important to functional independence and successful ageing in place. A better understanding of technology usage amongst older people may help to direct future interventions aimed at improving their healthcare. We aimed to obtain the first data regarding technology use, including gerontechnologies, represented by fall detectors, from older adults in Lithuania. Material and methods: The research was carried out in the framework of the project Smart Gerontechnology for Healthy Ageing, which involved assessing the use of technologies and the readiness to use gerontechnologies, as represented by fall detectors. A total of 375 individuals that were more than 60 years of age were enrolled in the study. The self-reporting questionnaires were completed by geriatric in-patients, hospitalized in the geriatric department, and also by community-dwelling older adults. Results: Geriatric in-patients’ use of computers and the internet was associated with age (every year of age decreased the probability of computer and internet use by 0.9-times) and a positive attitude towards new technologies—this predictor increased the use of a computer by six-times in comparison with people who did not have such an attitude. Sex and education had no influence on computer use for geriatric in-patients. For community-dwelling older adults, the use of computers and internet was associated with age, education (a university education increased the use of computers and the internet by four times), and a positive attitude towards technologies. Conclusions: Lithuanian older women in the study used computers, the internet, and cell phones equally with men. Increasing age was a strong negative predictor of technology use. A positive attitude to new technologies was a strong positive predictor of technology use. Most geriatric patients and community-dwelling older adults were ready to use technologies that permit ageing in place.

The cause of anxiety can be derived from knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards the use of technologies. In this study, the attitudes and anxiety levels of administrators and teachers in primary and secondary schools towards artificial intelligence and the relationship between anxiety and attitude scores were investigated. A total of 130 participants, consisting of administrators and teachers, participated in this study. In this context, survey models are one of the quantitative research methods. Artificial intelligence attitude and anxiety scales were used in accordance with the data collection method. When the research results are corrected, there is a negative relationship between the attitude variable towards artificial intelligence and the anxiety variable; as the attitude increases, the anxiety level decreases. It is seen that administrators and teachers experience significant anxiety.</span></p><div><span><br /></span></div>

The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of education technology antecedents and perceptions of usefulness and ease of use of educational technology systems on attitudes towards computer-based teaching in Egyptian universities. The study is built upon on deductive quantitative approach where structured questionnaires were designed and distributed to the students in Egyptian universities. Results based on SEM analysis identify that the technology dimension partially affects the design dimension, as well there is a partially significant association between the technology dimension and attitude towards technology-based teaching. While the design dimension does not have a significant association with attitude towards technology-based teaching, attitude towards technology-based teaching does not have a significant relationship with student satisfaction. Furthermore, there is a partially significant association between course dimensions and student satisfaction.

The main aim of the study was to learn the general attitudes of students from a pedagogical university towards artificial intelligence (AI) and their relationship with selected digital competences and knowledge about AI. The diagnostic survey method was used. The General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Scale (GAAIS) questionnaire (Schepman & Rodway) was used. 226 students participated in the study. Respondents have less positive attitudes towards the benefits of AI and less forgiving attitudes towards the disadvantages of AI than participants in the English and Turkish studies. A positive correlation was observed between competences related to the use of AI, ICT and computers and a positive attitude towards the benefits of AI, as well as between competences in the use of AI and an understanding attitude towards the disadvantages of AI.

Full textAbstract:
The approach of schools in general and teachers, in particular, is negative towards underachievers. Underachievers are considered a burden on the school, and classrooms and Indian schools are not yet equipped to meet their needs and solve their problems. If the class consists of some such children, the classroom discipline gets affected because of their unrest. Teachers are anxious and curious to attend to their cognitive and emotional needs attended to reduce classroom disturbances. Technological interventions help overcome underachievement in children. This is why interventions like CAI programmes are to be developed for the extra tutorials, and training of students based on their pace. Teachers' understanding and attitude towards CAI play a crucial role in the use of CAI programmes at school. The present study attempts to know the attitude of teachers towards one such study on the use of CAI for underachievers. For this, the investigators selected 30 teachers based on the purposive sampling technique, who was part of the study on knowing the impact of CAI. The sample was supplied questionnaire developed by investigators to measure the attitude of teachers on different variables like gender, qualification (educational, professional), age, teaching experience and exposure to computers. Results and findings of this study, on the one hand, will help policymakers, and educators to think of the use of CAI programmes for students in the Indian context and on the other hand help for developing strategies for teacher training and in-service programmes for using CAI programmes.

This study examines the effect of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived risk on Gen Z’s attitude toward using digital banking. Furthermore, this study examines whether the attitude toward digital banking influences their intention to use it. This research applied a quantitative approach, with the sample study being Gen Z between the ages of 18 and 25. With a total sample size of 148 respondents, an online questionnaire was distributed through Google Forms to gather the data. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0 software is the method of data analysis employed. It was found that perceived usefulness and perceived risk have a significant effect on attitude toward digital banking, whereas perceived ease of use does not have a significant effect. Perceived ease of use is positively significant towards perceived usefulness. Lastly, attitude toward the use of digital banking has a positive effect on the intention to use digital banking. Novelty/value- One characteristic of Generation Z is their familiarity with technology. Gen Z is the Generation that will continue to utilize technology; thus, it is crucial to understand their decisions about the usage of digital banking. This study sheds light on previously understudied aspects affecting attitudes and intentions toward digital banking in Indonesia.
