Abstract (2. Language): 
Aim: The rapid change in communication and information technologies incepted medical education and necessitated to enhance and implement new education strategies. We aimed to determine the attitudes and experiences of medical students as to contribute to the curriculum design. Material and Methods: A questionnaire consisting of Computer Attitude Scale, demographic information, questions about computer usage and experience applied to voluntary medical students of Selcuk University in term 2007-2008. Computer Attitude Scale has four subscales which are; Computer anxiety, Computer Confidence, Computer Liking, and Computer Usefulness. Results: In total, 312 students whose mean age was 21.1±2.2 year were participated in the study and 58.3% of them were male. The mean score of Computer Attitude Scale was 127.60±14.67 for male and 126.58±12.46 for female students (p=0.52). There was a significant difference in anxiety and confidence sub-scales of the Computer Attitude Scale in gender (p<0.05). Having own computer made a significant difference in Computer Attitude Scale in total and also in all sub-scales (p<0.05). Conclusion: The total and subscale scores of the students about Computer Attitude Scale were related to the classes of the students except the subscale for computer usefulness. The low knowledge and attitude level may be enhanced by education. Students who had no own computer should be supported about spending more time in computer laboratories.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Amaç: İletişim ve bilgi teknolojilerindeki hızlı değişim tıp eğitimini de içine almış, yeni eğitim stratejilerinin geliştirilmesini ve uygulanmasını gerekli kılmıştır. Bu çalışmada tıp eğitimi alan öğrencilerin bilgisayara yönelik tutumlarını, deneyimlerini belirleyip eğitim programına katkı sağlayabilmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel, tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu çalışmada 2007–2008 yılında Selçuk Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi öğrencilerine, Bilgisayar Tutum Ölçeği ile bilgisayar kullanımlarını, bilgisayar deneyimlerini ve demografik bilgilerini içeren bir anket formu gönüllülük temelinde uygulandı. Bilgisayar Tutum Ölçeğinin, Bilgisayar Anksiyetesi, Bilgisayar Kullanma Konusunda Kendine Güven, Bilgisayardan Hoşlanma ve Bilgisayarın Gerekliliği olarak dört alt ölçeği vardır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 21.1±2.2 yıl olan %58.3’ü (n=182) erkek 312 öğrenci katıldı. Bilgisayar tutum ölçeği puanı ortalaması erkeklerde 127.60±14.67, kızlarda 126.58±12.46 olarak bulundu (p=0.52). Anksiyete ve güven alt ölçeklerinde cinsiyete göre anlamlı fark vardı (p<0.05). Kendi bilgisayarına sahip olma Bilgisayar Tutum Ölçeğinden alınan toplam puan ve tüm alt ölçek puanları arasında anlamlı farka neden olmuştu (p<0.05). Sonuç: Tıp öğrencilerinin Bilgisayar Tutum Ölçeğinden aldıkları toplam ve bilgisayar gerekliliği alt ölçeği dışındaki alt ölçek puanları okudukları sınıf ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Ancak düşük olan bilgi ve tutum düzeyi eğitimin artırılmasıyla artırılabilir. Kendi bilgisayarı olmayan öğrencilerin bilgisayar laboratuarından daha çok zaman geçirmesi sağlanmalıdır.
