【 摘 要 】

Exploring early childhood teachers’ attitudes towards technology use is critical to define the characteristics of their teaching practices. Negative attitudes may hinder their use, while positive attitudes increase the effectiveness of their use of technology. The purpose of this study is to investigate early childhood teachers’ attitudes related to technology use in Turkey. This study employed a survey research design where the aim was to reach a large group of participants to examine early teachers’ attitudes toward using technology in teaching young children. The participants were 217 early childhood teachers working in public schools in a southeastern city. They were given a questionnaire containing items exploring their attitudes related to technology use in early childhood education. Factor and frequency analyses and other descriptive statistics techniques were utilized to analyze the data. Findings indicated that the participants in general hold positive attitudes toward using technology in teaching young children
