As Information Technology becomes ubiquitous in our everyday lives, educational settings are being transformed where educators and students are expected to teach and learn, using the technology. Educational institutions around the world are beginning to recognize the potential of Information Technology in pedagogy. Introductory Information Technology courses are compulsory for first year students in most of the institutions of higher learning around the world where students are taught to integrate IT tools and applications into their own learning process. The researcher undertook the study to determine the attitude of students of Physical Education towards Information Technology in Institutions of Higher Learning. The subjects were chosen randomly from the different Institutions of India offering Master’s Degree in Physical Education. A total number of 600 students were initially chosen as subject study of Physical Education from the different Institutions of India who were responded by filling of the attitude scale finally selected as a subject for the study. The students were also divided into two categories each i.e. male and female students. To find out the attitude of students of Physical Education towards Information Technology. For students, Computer Attitude Scale (CAS) developed by Tahira Khatoon & Manika Sharma (2007), was used. CAS consists of twenty questions which were divided into five areas, namely computer anxiety, computer confidence, computer interest, computer as a useful tool and computer career. Each area contains four items in five-point Likert response format. To analyze the attitude towards Information Technology among male and female students, researcher firstly converted responses into average common scores. Further, the scores were converted into simple percentage for the analysis and interpretation of data. To compare the groups of students ‘t’ test was used.
