Popis: Present-day generations grow up surrounded by the omnipresent information and communications technology (ICT). Computers have become an integral part of instruction at all levels of education but that fact alone does not enable one to acquire nor to use the appropriate and necessary knowledge. The period of formal education is regarded to be the key to a better knowledge systematization (and preparation for the future). Since ICT-related knowledge acceptance is strongly affected by computer attitudes and the positive computer attitude can affect computer application knowledge in a positive way, it would be important to understand how various factors interact and influence the teaching and learning process involving the use of computers and maybe help us improve the whole educational process. This study examines and evaluates the influence of several factors in student's environment (at home and in school) on computer attitude among primary and secondary-school and college student population aged 14 - 21. The initial model was tested by structural equation modeling, using SmartPLS 2.0
