(4) What levels of proficiency and expertise currently exist in the classroom among computer teachers? and (5) What are the attitudes of computer teachers in the field?

A questionnaire was administered with items pertaining to educational and professional backgrounds, knowledge of topics within the field of educational technology, expertise in the field of educational technology, and attitudes towards current occupations. Some of the results were: male and female teachers do not differ significantly on most measures of background and experience; backgrounds are varied; demographic data suggest that males and ethnic minorities tend to be underrepresented; males and females are perceived as having similar levels of interest and ability in using the computer; computer teachers have considerable knowledge of current developments in the field of educational technology, have high levels of job satisfaction, and exhibit positive attitudes towards the teaching of computer use.
