Examines the effects of such variables as socioeconomic status (SES), school size, grade span, type of computer, and student to computer ratio on the implementation of microcomputers. Analysis of a random sample of 128 elementary schools indicates that SES and student to computer ratio have the strongest impact on implementation. (Author/LRW)

Reports results of two studies that examined teachers' and students' efficacy and sex-typing attitudes toward computers in schools from contrasting settings. Questionnaires were used in elementary and secondary schools in a district that had an educational computing curriculum in place and in schools that were just beginning computer…
