This study assessed the computer attitudes and computer literacy levels of future business teachers. Data were collected from 83 (approximately 92%) of the prospective business teachers enrolled in a teaching methods course at Missouri's public 4-year universities or colleges during the Spring 1990 semester. The Computer Attitude Scale (CAS) was used to assess subjects' levels of computer anxiety and computer liking, attitudes toward the use of computers in education, and attitudes toward computers as a tool for teachers. The Standardized Test of Computer Literacy (STCL) was used to assess subjects' levels of computer literacy in terms of two variables, computer systems and computer applications. Subjects' computer attitudes were found to be positive. All attitude means were at least 80% of the maximum possible scores. Subjects' computer literacy mean scores, however, were only slightly more than 50% of the maximum possible scores. Recommendations for business teacher education programs are included in the article.

Data gathered from 83 prospective business educators on computer anxiety, attitudes toward computers in education, attitudes toward computers as a teaching tool, and computer liking were correlated with data on subjects' computer systems and applications literacy. A relationship between computer attitude and computer system literacy was found, and implications for programs to prepare computer literate teachers were drawn. (MES)

Correct training of teachers should encompass both the application of technology for personal needs and the use of technology with students in the classroom (Burkholder, 1995;Hignite & Echternacht, 1992;Hochman et al., 1993;Kearns, 1992;Ritchie & Wiburg, 1994;Todd, 1993;Wetzel, 1993;Woodrow, 1992). The generalizability of these results is that teachers ought to be computer literate and seek to include technology in their lesson plans; in contrast, teachers who do not have computer literacy and updated knowledge regarding technology do not achieve their goals. ...

... Studies on teachers' attitudes and perceptions regarding the use of ICT revealed that the psychological context of teaching (Austin et al., 2010;Cox et al., 2000;Nikolopoulou & Gialamas, 2009), teachers' age, class, experiences (Inan & Lowther, 2010;Tondeur et al., 2008), innovative aspects , level of information (Chen & Chang, 2006;Dong, 2016;Ertmer, 2005;Gialamas & Nikolopoulou, 2010;Han & Wang, 2010;Hew & Brush, 2007;Hignite & Echternacht, 1992;Lillard, 1985;Sang et al., 2010), and the efficiency of education (Inan & Lowther, 2010;Kalogiannakis, 2010;Kerckaert et al., 2015;Madsen & Sebastiani, 1987;Mueller et al., 2008;Sang et al., 2010;Tsitouridou & Vryzas, 2004;Van Braak et al., 2004;Vanderlinde et al., 2010) are all influential factors. In addition, teachers' perceived self-efficacy is as important as their competencies in integrating ICT into education (Ertmer, 2005). ...
