Pauli, Kevin P.; May, Douglas R.; Gilson, Richard L. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2003
Changing technology creates a need for additional computer-related training. A quasi-experimental study tested a theoretical framework that maintained that a playful pre-training software intervention and an individual difference, microcomputer playfulness (MCP), would combine to influence computer-related performance. Results demonstrated that…
