Abstract

It is imperative that university students’ current knowledge of computers and their level of commitment about learning more about computer technology and computer applicability be assessed. This study surveyed 790 university students with respect to their current knowledge of computers and the level of knowledge the students would like to have. The ANOVA procedure was used to determine if there were significant differences among current knowledge and commitment with respect to eight independent variables (college, year in college, grade point average, age, gender, high school computer class, university computer class, and computer ownership). The attitudes of those students who had taken high school or university computer courses or who owned a computer were found to be significantly different from those of students who did not.
