Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to explore and determine the relationships between computer attitudes, skills and achievement of pre-service teachers. The computer attitude variables are enjoyment, motivation, importance, and anxiety (Liu & Johnson, 1998). Computer skills variables include self ratings on a range of current hardware and software used in teacher education. Computer achievement variable includes grades earned in a required technology course.Subjects of the current study were 200 teacher education undergraduate students. A computer attitude instrument (Liu & Johnson, 1998), was used to measure students' attitudes toward using and learning computer technologies. A self-rating of computer skills was included as the first part of the instrument. The Self-Directed Search (Holland, 1994) was used to determine students' attitudes toward career planning. Low to moderate relationships were found among the variables measured.
