Information of every incident happening in the world gets to all common man within few seconds. This is due to digitalization and computerization of each and every of common man of world.

Student teacher are future of country if their self attitude towards handling computer is good then and then they can put ideal example in front of students . so researcher decided to do study on computer attitude of D.T.Ed. Student teacher Importance of the Study: 1) Due to this study we will get information
about computer attitude of D.T.Ed. Student
teacher 2) Due to this study we will get information about whether there is s a significant difference in the mean score of computer attitude between a) Male and female D.T.Ed. Student teacher b) Arts & Science faculty’s D.T.Ed. Student teacher of Operational Definitions of key terms :Computer attitude :- score achieved by
D.T.Ed. Student teacher after filling computer
attitude scale of Dr. Tahira khatoon & Manika sharma Student Teachers: - One who is enrolled or attend the class of Teacher training diploma of Education (B.Ed.), after completing H.S.C. Objectives:1) To Measure the level computer attitude of D.T.Ed. Student teacher 2) To Measure the level of computer attitude of Male D.T.Ed. Student teacher 3) To Measure the level of computer attitude female D.T.Ed. Student teacher. 4) To Measure the level of computer attitude of D.T.Ed.

Standardized computer attitude scale constructed & validated by Dr. Tahira khatoon & Manika sharma was used for the present study to measure the computer attitude of D.T.Ed. Student teacher. -
Validity & reliability of test is 0.93& 0.98 Sample: - The Present study was conducted on a total sample of 100 D.T.Ed. Student teacher. of training colleges at Yeola. dist. Nashik (Maharashtra state). The sample was selected using stratified random sampling technique giving due representation to both the sexes (male and female) and the faculty of junior collegr ( Arts and Science) Analysis & Interpretation : A preliminary analysis had done to see whether the dependant variable computer attitude is normally distributed. Important statistical constant such as Mean, Standard Deviation, kurtosis, Skewness, Correlation & ‘t’ value were computed for the total sample. Summary of statistical details presented in table no.1 Table -1 Computer attitude level of Trainee Teachers

In Table No.1 computer attitude level of D.T.Ed. Student teacher is shown. While considering computer attitude of whole & other sub group it has been found attitude against computer of 43% D.T.Ed. Student teacher is below average. Not single student teacher found having extra high computer attitude. While considering computer attitude of other subgroup near about 50% student Percentage of D.T.Ed. Student teacher of female and Art group have below average computer attitude. Only D.T.Ed.

In Table No. 2 Mean, Standard deviation, skewness & kurtosis of computer attitude of D.T.Ed. Student teacher. Mean of computer attitude of whole group is 75.35. while considering mean of computer attitude of sub groups it has been found that mean of art category group is 80.5 which is higher than rest of other group. And mean of male group is 73.2 which is lower than all other group. Regarding Standard deviation of computer attitude of D.T.Ed. Student teacher ; It has been found that group of science category D.T.Ed. Student teacher is homogenous while whole group of D.T.Ed. Student teacher found heterogeneous. The value obtained for Skewness for whole with other like male, female, science and art group is positive & value for kurtosis for whole with other sub group are below the standard value 0.263 this means that distribution of D.T.Ed. Student teacher is like leptokurtic curve. Table No 3 Testing of Hypothesis - – Significance of difference between the Mean score of Spiritual Intelligence Group
