A STUDY ON ATTITUDE TOWARDS COMPUTER AMONG SCHOOL STUDENT

DR. SMRITIKANA GHOSH

Abstract

The advancement of information and communication technology has redirected the emphasis of education and training from teacher-centered, directive approaches to those that include technology. The use of computers as a principal instrument for enhancing education in contemporary classrooms is well-established. Each individual must navigate their own path of acclimatization to this new development and its ramifications. In this study, the focus was on contrasting the perspectives of male and female school students in Ranchi regarding the use of computers. For the purpose of this descriptive research study, the Student Computer Attitude Scale, which was designed and validated by Ghosh (2025), was utilized to collect data from one hundred different pupils. Random selection was used to pick the participants from among a number of educational institutions located in Ranchi. When conducting the analysis of the data, we utilized the t-test, percentage, mean, and standard deviation values. According to the findings, there was not a statistically significant difference in the average scores on the student computer attitude scale. According to the findings of the study, students should be given more opportunities to use computers in order to reduce their anxiety and make the most of their potential applications in everyday life.
