“…Two versions of the instrument developed by Brown (1966) were used to measure attitudes toward CAI. The Brown scale was used in its original past tense form (Form B) to measure reactions to CAI (see Table 2).…”

“…A few items required the students to indicate how often something had happened, again giving them five choices ranging from very often through occasionally to very seldom. An internal consistency reliability coefficient of .89 has been reported for the original form of the Brown (1966) scale. Versions of the Brown scale containing 27 of the 30 items of Form B had a Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 reliability of .82 for 158 Florida State undergraduates.…”

“…With the advent of technological approaches to education, there has been a renewed interest in student reactions to instructional techniques. Several studies have reported students' attitudes toward computer-assisted instruction (CAI; Brown, 1966;Filep & Murphy, 1967;Wodtke, 1965;Wodtke, Mitzel, & Brown, 1965). Three of these studies though were limited in that they used experimenterconstructed tests of either unknown or unreported reliability.…”

Instruction in general psychology by computer (CAI) or reading was given to 64 college students. A modified Solomon four-group design was used to assess changes in attitude toward CAI as measured by a 30-item scale. Students were generally positive toward CAI but those that had experienced it were more positive than those who participated in the reading control group. Students who made many errors while being instructed by the computer were less positive toward it ( r = -.49). Also students who received a CAI program or reading covering unfamiliar concepts rather than material on which they were to be tested that week were less positive. Pretesting had no effect on attitudes. The ease of programming a computer to provide errorless and relevant instruction is discussed.
