Abstract

This study aims to analyze the attitudes of students studying computer programmingthrough the distance education regarding programming, and their self-efficacy forprogramming and the relation between these two factors. The study is conducted with104 students being thought with distance education in a university in the north region ofTurkey in spring semester of 2013-2014 academic years. Attitude Scale toward ComputerProgramming (AStCP) and Computer Programming Self-Efficacy Inventory (CPSEI) areused as data collecting tool. The study is conducted within the descriptive scanningmodel. The data collected during the study is analyzed with Mann Whitney U test,independent t-test and Pearson Correlation coefficient for answering the researchquestions. According to the results of the study the attitudes of the students regardingprogramming are generally positive and their self-efficacy for programming are at highlevel. There is statistically important difference in the attitudes of students regardingprogramming in accordance with their gender and grade level. Accordingly, their selfefficacydifferentiates statistically by these two variables. Finally, it is concluded thatthere is a positive relation in average level between the attitudes of the studentsregarding programming and their self-efficacy for programming.
