Abstract
This study examined and compared college students' attitudes toward technology and technological application skills in a technology applications course that has two different delivery modes: online and face-to-face. A three-part survey was designed and administered to those two groups of about thirty undergraduate students each who major in education at a Midwestern university in the United States. Descriptive statistics was used to understand the background information. An independent t test was used to analyze the differences before and after taking the technology course in each of the online and face-to-face classes. An independent t test was also analyzed to look at the comparison of the online course and the face-to-face course. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the online and face-to-face classes in students' attitudes toward technology before and after taking a technology application course. The technological application skills were increased after the course and presented significant after vs. before differences in both teaching formats.
