Computer Anxiety And Other Factors Preventing Computer Use Among United States Secondary Agricultural Educators

Nowhere has the impac t o f the microcomputer been felt more strongly than in the schools of the United States. Bork (1985) declared that computer use in education is a highly dynamic technology and over the next 25 years will become the dominant delivery system in education. The Office of Educational Research and Improvement (1986), in the U. S. Department of Education, reported that 99 percent of all public high schools in the Uni ted S ta tes have purchased microcomputers. Data from the Second National Survey of Instructional Uses of School Computers indicate that the use of computers appears to be more common in vocational areas than in academic subjects (Survey Maps, 1986).
