Abstract
AbstractIn relation to an examination and evaluation of the innovative practices and principles of academic computing, a survey study of undergraduate students at a private liberal arts college was conducted to determine their uses and experiences with computers. Student attitudes toward academic computing were also studied. Survey results indicated significant variations in student experiences, competence, orientations, and level of satisfaction using computers. Grouping students by major provided a basis for the analysis of generalized and distinctive results, with business and preprofessional students responding more favorably to existing curricula opportunities in computing than students in the liberal arts and humanities. Viewing the technically focused model of academic computing as selectively inappropriate for student achievement in the liberal arts, alternatively designed curricula incorporating more distinctive and creative applications of information technology are recommended.
