Summary
The rapid changes and developments in technology cause various transformations in societies, which have evolved based on the development of societies and affecting the profile of individuals required by the society. It is the total responses of the individual towards computers (Liao, 1999) From this aspect, the attitude towards computers is a predictor that influences computer usage and at the same time shows the inclination to use computers for learning (Myers ve Halpin, 2002). Köse and Gezer (2006) specified that attitudes towards computers are the most affective factors that ensure the effective and productive use of computers as tools for learning The studies on this issue showed that students‟ attitudes towards computers are significant in achieving the target learning outcomes (Mellissen and Drent, 2008; Teo, 2006; Teo, 2008; Yıldırım, 2000). Apart from these, researches studying the correlation between academic success and attitudes towards computers showed that there is a positive correlation between these variables (Caner et al, 2006; Üzel and Özdemir, 2008)
