Abstract

Teachers' attitudes toward computers affect their instructional use of computers and likelihood of profiting from training. The reliability, factorial validity, and fit to a unidimensional model of the Computer Attitude Scale (CAS) was investigated. Pretest and posttest results were collected from 265 teachers who participated in training on classroom applications of computer hardware and software. Four factors were identified: computer anxiety, efficiency, liking, and instructional usefulness. Scale reliability was .94 with post-test subscale reliabilities ranging from .70 to .90. Five items did not fit the multidimensional model. The scale is useful as a computer attitude measure but some item revisions might be considered.
