Abstract

The purpose of this study; to detect science and technology teachers' attitudes towards using information and communication technologies and to determine attitudes and achievements of the students towards Science and Technology courses using computer aided instruction (CAI). Study, was carried out 20 science and technology teachers with total of 58 students from an primary school. The study semi-structured interviews were conducted with teachers about level and attitudes using information and communication technologies in science and technology courses. A Science and Technology teacher was volunteer who interviewed teachers within was observed course of 3 weeks, 4 hours per week, including experimental and control group. All courses are taken to record the video. In the experimental group Chemical Bonds subject carried out various taking advantage of information and communication technologies. Quantitative data, Chemical Bonds Achievement Test and the Computer Attitude Scale were obtained from the data applied as pre-test and post-test. In addition,qualitative data were analyzed by descriptive analysis method and the quantitative data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance (MANCOVA). Result of the study, While Chemical Bonds subject was found significant effect on students' achievement of CAI, attitudes toward using computers was not found significant difference. It was seen a portion of the teachers participating in the study could (not) benefit and have negative attitudes towards Information and Communication Technologies. When FATİH project aims to use technology in all schools, although the current situation seems to be hardly possible to assess the situation. The reasons teachers not to use technology for the project to be successful must be examined.
