| Abstract: | Interactive Computer Technologies (ICTs) have crept into education industry, thus dramatically causing transformation in instructional process. This study examined the relative and combined contributions of computer anxiety, self-concept and gender to teachers' attitude towards the use of ICT(s). 454 Nigerian teachers constituted the sample. Three instruments were used to collect the data analysed with Pearson Product Moment Correlation, Multiple Regression and Analysis of Variance. The findings revealed that the combination of the three independent variables significantly predicted the independent variable. Gender did not make any significant contribution to the prediction of the dependent variable. Recommendations were made based on findings. |
