Computer Attitude of Teachers in Relation to their Level of Instruction
Abstract: <div>ICT is not only the backbone of the Information Age, but also an important catalyst for inducing educational reforms that could transform students from passive recipients of knowledge to pioneers of the learning process. Today, technology is an integral learning tool for promoting the social,</div><div>linguistic, and cognitive development of children of all ages. To achieve the goal of a technological revolution in education however, it is imperative that both teachers and students develop the necessary knowledge and skills sought in this digital age. The present descriptive research aimed to compare</div><div>computer attitudes of teachers employed at different levels of instruction in an attempt to discern whether the curriculum and activities included at a particular teaching stage had any influence on their computer attitudes. The findings of the study revealed the fact that primary and secondary</div><div>school teachers showed a significant difference in their computer attitudes, while those of schools and colleges were comparable in terms of each of the variables considered. These results could provide important implications for enhancing the curriculum across the different teaching stages in an attempt to bring about the necessary attitudinal changes in teachers toward the use of computers in a technology driven age.</div>
