Abstract (2. Language): 
Special education field in Turkey, has been becoming wide spread and gaining importance with the contributions of legal regulations. Moreover, special education field also influenced by technological developments in the world? Especially, significant innovations in the field of educational technologies has contributed the development of useful materials to be utilized in special education. Using the computer-assisted produced materials in special education contributes to the quality of education given. However, the presence of well-trained and equipped educators is important for the investments in technological infrastructure and the materials to be effective and useful. At this point, investigating special education teachers’ attitudes toward computer has risen as a significant subject. In this study, special education teachers’ attitudes toward computer are examined in Balıkesir. In study survey method is used, and 91 Special education teachers from 7 different special education schools were included in sample. Three dimensional "The computer attitude scale" which was developed by Deniz (1994) is used in the study. In data analysis, descriptive statistics, t test, one way ANOVA, and LSD tests are used. The results of the study showed that special education teachers’ attitudes toward computer were found as positive.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Türkiye’de son yıllardaki yasal düzenlemelerin de etkisi ile her geçen gün yaygınlaşan ve önem kazanan özel eğitim, teknolojik gelişmelerden oldukça etkilenmektedir. Özellikle eğitim teknolojileri alanındaki önemli yenilikler özel eğitimde kullanılacak etkili materyallerin geliştirilmesinde yarar sağlamıştır. Bilgisayar destekli olarak da üretilen ve kullanılan bu materyallerin özel eğitimde yer alması eğitimin kalitesine önemli katkılar sağlamaktadır. Fakat teknolojik altyapı ve materyallere yapılan yatırımların etkili ve yararlı olabilmesi için iyi yetişmiş donanımlı eğitimcilerin varlığı önem kazanmaktadır. Bu noktada özel eğitim öğretmenlerinin bilgisayar tutumlarının incelenmesi önemli bir konu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda gerçekleştirilen araştırmada Balıkesir ilinde, özel eğitim kurumlarında görevli öğretmenlerin bilgisayar tutumları incelenmiştir. Genel tarama modelinin kullanıldığı araştırmada örneklem olarak, 7 özel eğitim kurumunda çalışan 91 özel eğitim meslek elemanı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada Deniz (1994) tarafından geliştirilen 3 alt boyuta sahip “bilgisayar tutum ölçeği” kullanılmaktadır. Toplanan verilerinin değerlendirilmesinde betimsel istatistikler ile tek yönlü varyans analizi, LSD testi, t-Testi ve Anova istatistik tekniklerinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, özel hizmet alanında çalışanların bilgisayar yönelik olumlu tutum geliştirdikleri tespit edilmiştir.
