Abstract

This article reports on a pilot study investigating the attitudes of elementary school students toward computers on a personal (pleasure) and academic (school-related) level. A Computer Use and Attitude Survey was administered to 25 boys and 24 girls attending an after-school program in different communities. (Pseudonyms have been used by the researcher for parents, students, and for place names.) Results illustrate that elementary school students, and girls in particular, have a positive attitude toward computers.
