Abstract:
During the use of computers in education or in computer based programs one must have
information regarding the state of learners’ affective behaviors. Learners’ attitudes and perceptions
towards new technologies are quite effective on their learning levels. In this research, effects of
computer anxiety and internet attitude on computer self-efficacy were investigated. According to the
research findings, computer anxiety has a strong influence on internet attitudes. Moreover, it was
concluded that internet attitude affected computer self-efficacy. On the other hand, a significant relation
between computer anxiety and computer self-efficacy could not be determined. Based on these
findings, we may suggest that by keeping computer anxiety under control, we may be able to positively
develop learners’ internet attitudes. We may further suggest that students who have positive internet
attitude also have relatively enhanced computer self-efficacy.
