Popis:	This study provides a preliminary analysis of teacher candidates' attitudes toward information technology as they predict receptivity to an online resource-based learning. The participants of the current questionnaire-based study were randomly selected teacher candidates (N = 101) at an American Pacific island university. The questionnaire focused on the relationship between the candidates' levels of comfort with technology and the degrees to which they consider the Internet useful in doing coursework. Results from this study may guide teacher education programs, as they seek to optimize teacher candidates' receptivity to course-appropriate online resources. This is because these teachers will shape their own students' attitudes toward online learning environments, promoting their students' tendencies to access resources maintaining lifelong learning perspectives.
