Zhang, Yixin; Espinoza, Sue – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1997
This study of 296 undergraduate students investigates relationships concerning computer efficacy, attitudes toward computers, and need for learning computer skills. Multiple regression revealed attitudes toward computers, and computer self-efficacy, were significant predictors of the need for learning computing skills between two groups of…

Cook, Susan L. – 1999
This paper presents a case study of an "e-pal" experiment which suggests that negative assumptions and orientations toward computer technology for communication purposes can be altered through one-to-one peer relationships. The experiment was conducted through a communication seminar at a small private university in the Northwest.…

Vogel, Lora Ann – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1994
Reports on a study conducted to evaluate how individual differences in anxiety levels affect performance on computer versus paper-and-pencil forms of verbal sections of the Graduate Record Examination. Contrary to the research hypothesis, analysis of scores revealed that extroverted and less computer anxious subjects scored significantly lower on…

McInerney, Valentina; Marsh, Herbert W.; McInerney, Dennis M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1999
Developed a multidimensional measure of affect and cognition in relation to adult learning of computing skills, the Computer Anxiety and Learning Measure (CALM). Results from 794 Australian undergraduates support the validity and reliability of the CALM with this population, although whether the measure is invariant across different adult…

Pokay, Patricia A.; Tayeh, Carla – Computers in the Schools, 1997
Based on a college-level geometry course, presents practical suggestions for integrating exploratory computer applications into the mathematics classroom. Reveals that students need more experimental time with technology to reduce anxiety, and assessments need to be developed and implemented to tap the outcomes of problem solving and higher level…

Hudiburg, Richard A.; Necessary, James R. – 1996
This document summarizes research which investigated coping strategies used by computer users who experienced varying degrees of computer-stress. A questionnaire, distributed to enrollees in a college course in which computer use was required, elicited information about computer abilities, anxiety, and self-esteem. Participants (n=83) were also…

McInerney, Valentina; And Others – 1996
This research seeks to find the most effective mode of instruction which can assist undergraduate students in gaining initial computing skills while alleviating anxiety by contrasting a traditional direct teaching approach with one that emphasizes self-regulation within a cooperative learning context. Specifically, the study compares the…

Castleman, Jacquelyn B. – 1995
This practicum was designed to lessen the computer anxiety of early childhood education majors enrolled in General Curriculum or General Methods courses, to assist them in learning more about computer applications, and to increase the amount of time spent using computers. Weekly guidelines were given to the students, and a hands-on approach was…
