1 AN ANALYSIS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ATTITUDE TOWARDS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN MASENO UNIVERSITY Dr. OMONDI JAMES OKEDA 12/12/2021 Abstract The study investigated the underlying issues influencing the students attitude towards Information Technology related Courses since Maseno university runs all programs integrated with IT. The questionnaire was used to collect data and used to measure attitude. With regards to Students’ attitudes toward ICT undergraduate students both showed positive attitudes towards ICT. Also, the relationship between attitudes and achievement there is a moderate correlation between undergraduate students attitudes to ICT and their achievement in ICT where as among the postgraduate students there was a weak correlation between postgraduate students attitudes to ICT and their achievement in ICT. It is recommended that students should be encouraged to develop positive attitudes towards ICT. This may improve their achievement in ICT examinations.
