In this technology intensive society, most students are required to be proficient in computer skills to compete in today's global job market. These computer skills usually consist of basic to advanced knowledge in word processing, presentation, and spreadsheet applications. In many U.S. states, students are required to demonstrate computer…

Educators and computer scientists have the obligation to humanize students' images of the computer. This can be achieved if students can be brought to realize that computers can be viewed as extensions of the human brain, making possible otherwise inconceivable human advances. Students should be shown that these machines can perform functions…

The effect of different communicating modes to computers on students' attitudes toward programing was studied. In a computer-related course, 13 students used batch processing mode to solve problems on the computer, while 12 other students used conversational mode to solve the same problems. It was found that those students accessing the computer…

Use of computers at Brown University and attitudes toward computing were investigated in 1984. Major areas of interest were: frequency of weekly computer use, past experience using computers, when respondents first used a computer, their gender, student status, years at the university, major, and parental and familial influences on computer use.…

A study of student attitudes towards computers in a mathematics class found significantly positive relationships between such use and their attitudes towards mathematics, the instructional setting, achievement in mathematics and programing, and previous programing experience.
