CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER ATTITUDE SCALE (CAS)

As we know Computers have been used in education for more than four decades, and they have now been accepted unconditionally as an integral part of our entire educational system. The increase in computer use is rapid and has also generated new challenges. Teacher attitude towards computers is an important factor related to the teacher's role towards the effective use of computers in education. Indeed, previous correlation studies have long forecasted that the use of computers in education would very much depend on how well teachers integrate them in everyday activities. And therefore, the question of teacher attitude toward computers is central to any successful use of computers in education. The present paper deals with the construction and development of computer attitude scale for teachers. The sample has been drawn from secondary school teachers of public schools of Ludhiana district of Punjab.
