An adult educator at an all-male maximum-security correctional center in Virginia conducted a research project to learn her students' attitudes toward the computers that had recently been introduced in their classroom. She used the following data collection tools and activities: a nine-question survey that was administered to the students in all four periods that she taught; opinion essays that students wrote on technology uses in the classroom; one-on-one interviews with five students with differing attitudes toward computers; interviews with one academic instructor and one vocational instructor at the correctional center; and a journal in which she noted her observations of the students for 2 months. Most students liked the computers because they made learning easy, provided instant feedback, and allowed students to experience the joy of independent learning and build bridges to the future. Although most students enjoyed using computers, they also felt limited because they had to use "canned" programs and because security restrictions made it impossible for them to use the Internet. Many students also requested more training on computers to increase their comfort with the machines. The teacher has since developed personalized goal sheets to give students who opt to use computers more direction in doing so. (MN)
