Factors influencing students’ attitude towards technology
Abstract
This study examines the attitudes held by the first year College students
of the Lesotho College of Education, toward technology. It investigates
the relationship between students’ attitudes toward technology and some
other factors such as teacher characteristics, students’ learning and
classroom environment. It also explores whether student gender affects
attitudes toward technology. A sample of 200 first year students from
all the three programmes (Diploma in Secondary Education, Diploma
in Primary education and Diploma in Technology Education) was
randomly selected. Attitudes were measured by a questionnaire survey
using the five point Likert type scale and interview. The findings suggest
that attitudes towards technology were predicted by the three study
variables. However, no statistically significant gender differences were
established.
