The Relationship between Computer Anxiety and Computer Self-Efficacy

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between computer anxiety and computer selfefficacy of students and teachers in elementary and secondary schools. The sample included a total of 845 subjects from two private school systems in Turkey. The Oetting's Computer Anxiety Scale was used to measure computer anxiety whereas the Murphy's Computer Self-Efficacy Scale was used to measure computer self-efficacy of subjects. The results demonstrated that elementary students were less-anxious than secondary students; males had lower anxiety scores than females; and the difference between anxiety scores of students and teachers was not significant. However, students had higher self-efficacy scores than their teachers; elementary students were more self-efficient than secondary students; and males had higher computer self-efficacy scores than females. The correlation between the variables of computer anxiety and computer self-efficacy was moderate, negative, and significant.

“…Individual with high level of anxiety, have low self-efficacy. This study reinforces the findings of previous studies showing that computer anxiety negatively affects selfefficacy [22,27].…”

Computer Self-Efficacy Perceptions of Music Teacher Candidates and Their Attitudes towards Digital Technology

“…Male students' self-efficacy perception levels were found to be higher than female students. Different researches also reveal that there is a significant relationship between computer proficiency level and gender (Ipek & Acuner, 2011;Simsek, 2011;Cetin, Caliskan & Menzi, 2012;Cetin & Gungor, 2014;Sayginer, 2016). In most of these studies, it was found that the difference was in favor of males.…”

Contraste de un modelo de red intencional

“…Por último, en el trabajo de Simsek (2011), la autoeficacia computacional, indicador de un alto desempeño académi-co, se correlaciona negativamente con la ansiedad. Dicho estudio complementa el hallazgo de la presente investigación, pues la ansiedad se reflejó en la intención de uso de Internet para buscar información con fines académicos e investigativos.…”

“…Empero, la validez de un constructo supone la inclusión de factores negativos, como es el caso de la ansiedad y la adic-ción. En este sentido, ambos factores fue-ron incluidos en la especificación del mo-delo, esperando encontrar valores negati-vos (Simsek, 2011). accesible, extensiva y acumulable puede derivar en una patología de ansiedad y adicción que inhibiría la eficiencia, la eficacia y la efec-tividad informativa.…”
