Mishra Journal on Future Engineering and Technology 2230 – 7184 1 2 70 77 Students' Attitudes, Computer Software Support, Laboratory Practical Learning, practical in electronics, attitudinal change The purpose of this experimental study was to see the effect of Computer software support on the attitude towards electronics subject of students while working in laboratory of electronics science. In this experimental study there were two groups as experimental group and control group. The experimental group performed the experiments using computer software support for selected practical in electronics, while controlled group was studied by traditional method. The target population consisted of students offering electronics subject in undergraduate science streams. The sample was students who attended the Electronics achievement test at four selected science colleges affiliated in Amravati University Amarvati ( Maharashtra State- INDIA) . There were 150 students used as the sample in the study.The investigator developed an attitude scale having 25 items by covering various aspects related to electronics experiments and laboratory communication. There ware 21 positive and four negative items on five-point scale (Likert type). The difference of points in pre test and posttest decided the change in Attitude. The findings showed that the computer software support used for laboratory communication was much effective in bringing an attitudinal change among the students. There was a remarkable enhancement in attitude for all items. November 2005 - January 2006 Copyright © 2006 i-manager publications.
