| Description | The impact of information and communication technologies and computers on our daily lives has been steadily increasing. This state influences the change of attitudes toward computers. We focused on finding the differences between gender and age according to computer attitudes. A questionnaire with 34 Likert type items was used in our research. Items were taken over from Steve Kennewell and Alex Morgan. Items were modified on conditions of Slovak high schools. The sample consists of 659 students of 14 high schools. Students attended the first, the second, the third and the fourth grades of study. They were ages from 15 to 19 years old. For the data evaluation we used the factor analysis and the ANOVA. The results of the questionnaire were divided into two dimensions, first was computer enjoyment and second was computer anxiety. In first dimension younger students and girls have positive attitudes. In the second dimension younger students and boys achieved higher score. Totally, girls have more positive attitudes than boys. |
