Abstract: The purpose of this study aims to investigate the relationship of teacher computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety, and attitudes toward computers. This study includes a sample of 285 teachers from vocational high schools in Taiwan. Three scales are used to assess computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety, and attitude toward computers. The data is analyzed using the descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and structural equation modeling. The results find that there is a strong negative relationship between computer anxiety and attitudes toward computers, and a negative relationship between computer anxiety and computer self-efficacy. Computer attitude is a contributing factor to resistance to using computers. However, the result also indicates that computer attitude leads to positive influence on computers self-efficacy, but negative influence on computer anxiety. Several recommendations are made in the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
