Locus of control and student teacher computer attitudes

The attitudes towards computers and the perception of locus of control over factors which determine academic success were measured for a group of 106 pre-service teachers enrolled in an introductory computer literacy course. All subjects were computer novices. Positive computer attitudes were found...

description The attitudes towards computers and the perception of locus of control over factors which determine academic success were measured for a group of 106 pre-service teachers enrolled in an introductory computer literacy course. All subjects were computer novices. Positive computer attitudes were found to be correlated with an externally-oriented perception of locus of control. The external attribution of luck was most highly correlated with positive computer attitudes. Among internally-oriented subjects, those who felt that effort primarily determined academic success displayed the most negative attitudes towards computers. Locus of control was found to account for more variation in computer attitudes than were the factors of student age, gender, computer experience and word processing experience.
