Abstract
In this study computer self-efficacy of Turkish undergraduate sport management students was investigated. There were a total of 295 sport management students from three universities. Data were collected by survey which was developed by Compeau and Higgins, 1995, translated to Turkish and adapted for students by Aktag, 2013. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation among students’ computer self-efficacy, performance outcome, personal outcome, affective outcome and a significant negative correlation between computer self-efficacy and anxiety level. Although there is no difference between males and females in terms of computer self-efficacy in the study, the high level of anxiety of female students indicates that they should be supported in technology. Students who are taking computer course received the highest computer self-efficacy than others who were not. Key words: Computer self-efficacy, anxiety, sport management students, gender.

Summary
The incorporation of technology into the teaching and learning has become an important piece in every part of higher education (Saleh, 2008). Students' acquisition of a high level of technological skills and ability is considered a basic part of the 21st century curriculum, equivalent to importance of reading and writing (UNESCO, 2000 as cited in Giles and Kent, 2016). Computer and technology education has become a necessary part in educational institutions' curriculum (Hsu and Huang, 2006). Turkish Council of Higher Education (TCHE) recommends universities to offer computer courses to help students become more proficient in fundamental computer skills and have knowledge about basic concepts of technology. Commission on Sport Management Accreditation (COSMA) indicated that sport management programs need to include technology and computer courses in their programs (COSMA, 2016).
