Özet
Bu araştırmanın amacı, ortaokul öğrencilerinin tablet bilgisayara ilişkin tutumlarını farklı değişkenler açısından belirlemektir. Betimsel bir çalışma olan bu araştırmada veriler; Bozdoğan & Uzoğlu (2012) tarafından geliştirilen, güvenirlik katsayısı 0.93 olarak bulunan “Tablet bilgisayar tutum ölçeği ” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Giresun ilinden basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 627 ortaokul öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Verilerin analizinde frekans, yüzde, aritmetik ortalama, t-testi, tek yönlü anova istatistiksel yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan ortaokul öğrencilerinin tablet bilgisayara ilişkin tutumlarının oldukça yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin cinsiyet, bilgisayar kullanmaya başlama yılları, bilgisayar kullanma sıklığı gibi değişkenlere göre tablet bilgisayara karşı tutumları arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu belirlenmiştir.
