The General Attitudes Toward Computer Scale (GATCS), the Computer Anxiety Rating Scale (CARS), and the Educational History and Computer Training Profile surveys were used to collect data related to statements addressing general attitudes toward computers, statements that address experiences that may cause computer anxiety or apprehension, and 12 demographic items. Descriptive statistics were calculated for each group (magnet and traditional) on years of teaching experience, educational level, and technophobia. Independent sample t-tests were then used to test for significance between the independent variables (magnet and traditional) and dependent variables (GATCS and CARS). Results of the study suggested traditional schoolteachers had more positive attitudes about computers and technology than magnet schoolteachers. Results of the study also suggested traditional schoolteachers were more computer anxious than magnet schoolteachers.
