The attitudes of educators toward computers were assessed as well as their attitude change while taking an introductory microcomputer course. Sex and age differences were also investigated. Subjects included a sample who were surveyed by mail and a group of 22 teachers who were enrolled in a microcomputer course. A 44-item attitude questionnaire and 6 semantic differential tests were administered. Other data collected included professional involvement, grade level involvement, age, years of teaching experience, sex, computer experience, and educational level. Results indicated that: (1) there was a significant increase in positive attitudes toward computers after participation in the course; (2) educators who registered for the course had more positive computer attitudes than those who did not; (3) sex and age did not predict educators' attitudes toward computers; (4) females felt somewhat more favorable toward computer assisted instruction, flowcharting, computers, and calculators; (5) males responded more positively toward programming and BASIC language; (6) older students aged 41-70 were more positive toward computers, calculators, and computer assisted instruction; and (7) younger students aged 20-40 felt more positive toward flowcharting, programming, and BASIC language.
