Abstract: The present study aimed to know the attitude towards ICT of user and non-user teachers of ICT. The data were collected from 40 (20 male and 20 Female) user and non-user of ICT secondary school teachers from Agra city. Attitude towards ICT was measured by Computer Attitude Scale (CAS), originally developed by Loyd and Gressard (1984). Data were treated by Mean, SD and t-test. The findings of study reveal that the ICT user teachers' attitude towards ICT is highly positive in comparison to ICT non-user teachers but they have also positive attitude towards ICT in relation to their school teaching subjects. It is clear that vast majority of secondary school teachers have positive attitude towards ICT in relation to their school teaching subjects for many reasons.
