Scholastic achievement and computer attitudes among Moroccan university students
Azize El Ghouati1, Bani Koumachi2.
In Morocco, like any other parts of the world, the government has enormously been an enthusiastic
supporter of technology to uplift the education quality. However, without students' positive
computer attitudes, students will not be successful nor will be prepared to acquire new knowledge
to achieve good results. To this end, the present study (1) identifies the potential relationship
between computer enjoyment (CE) and students' English achievement (EA), (2) explores the type
of relationship between computer anxiety (CA) and achievement in English, (3) examines the
nature of relationship between computer utility (CU) and English achievement (EA), and finally
investigates the type of relationship between computer familiarity (CF) and English achievement
among Moroccan university students. Therefore, the main instruments, questionnaires and
achievement tests, are analyzed and interpreted quantitatively; whereas the semi-structured
interviews are treated qualitatively. The statistical tools used in order to help analyze and interpret
data make use of percentages, frequencies, and Correlation tests. Following what has been
hypothesized, the quantitative findings reveal that there is no statistically significant correlation
between CE, CA, CU, CF and EA. Likewise, the qualitative data results confirm the quantitative
findings.
