The t-test results presented in Table 8 show that the pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards the effects of using
overhead projector and projector on learning do not significantly vary depending on the environment where they
were brought up [t (182) = 1.17, p > .05]. Hence, it can be argued that there is no significant relation between the
attitudes towards technology and the environment where they were brought up. Moreover, whether there is a
significant difference between the attitudes and the environment for each scale item was tested and only for item
12 “Using overhead projector and projector in lessons makes learning more effective and efficient” significant
difference was observed. The attitudes of the students from the rural areas have more positive attitudes (X= 4.42)
towards this item than the students from the urban areas (X= 4.22). This may be because the students from the
rural areas did not find many opportunities to engage in technological devices and therefore, they find such
materials more interesting and more motivating.
