Commitment to Learning: Effects of Computer Experience, Confidence and Attitudes.

Levine, Tamar; Donitsa-Schmidt, Smadar

Journal of Educational Computing Research, v16 n1 p83-105 1997

A study of 148 male and 161 female 7-12 graders tested the hypothesis that computer attitudes and computer confidence positively affect each other and that both positively affect commitment to computer learning. Contrary to expectations, computer confidence had a negative effect on commitment to learning. Includes an attitudes and self-confidence questionnaire. (66 references) (PEN)
