Examining Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers’ Attitudes Towards Computer Assisted Education

Abstract

Nowadays, the use of computers involves in our lives more with the developing technology. Facilitating the work of people, computers provide convenience in the field of education as in every other field. Fulfilling the educational needs of individuals has caused the emergence of various concepts such as Computer Assisted Education (CAE) and Computer Assisted Teaching (CAT). The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes of pre-service mathematics teachers, who were studying at the Department of Elementary Mathematics Teaching at Kazım Karabekir Faculty of Education in Atatürk University in 2010-2011 academic year, towards computer assisted education. The method used in the research was a descriptive one. The scale of Computer Assisted Education (CAE), which was developed by Arslan (2006), and personal information form were used as data collection tools in the study. In view of the conducted analyses, it was observed that the majority of the students who were studying at the Department of Mathematics Teaching developed positive attitudes towards performing computer assisted education during instruction process. Furthermore, no significant difference was found among the attitude scores of teacher candidates related with performing computer assisted education in terms of gender and computer usage frequency.
