The outcomes of the study show that teachers have very favourable disposition towards the new technology. The study also shows that there is no significant difference in attitudes of male and female; new and experienced; and science and non-science teachers. However, a significant difference exists between teachers who are younger and older; non-graduates and graduates; and who own and who do not own computers. Computer experience in college or university also contributes towards a difference in attitudes. No such difference is observed among teachers who have and who have no computer experience in schools; and also who have and who have not attended any computer course. 2002 Student Project NonPeerReviewed text en http://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/41616/1/41616.pdf Zakaria, Zamri (2002) Attitudes of teachers towards information technology in education in four secondary schools in Dungun Terengganu / Zamri Zakaria.
