The study of the attitudes of the students at vocational training high school towards the internet through certain variables

The goal with this survey is to identify the attitudes of vocational training high school students towards the internet and to establish the relationships between the variables such as gender, academic success, and whether they are pleased with the school environment. The survey was conducted on the students at the Selcuk University Beysehir Vocational Training High School during the Spring Term in 2008-2009. The attitude-towards-the internet scale, which was developed by Zhang was used in the survey. During the study, arithmetic mean, standard diversion, t test and variance analysis were carried out, and the significance level was accepted as .05. At the end of the survey, it was found that the male students had a higher inclination towards the internet than the female students at the vocational training high school, and that the students that were pleased with the school environment had also a higher inclination towards the internet than those that weren't.
