Attitudes of students in hafiz project schools towards technology and techno-religiosity: The case of Düzce province

This study was conducted to determine the attitudes of secondary school hafiz students towards technology and their views on techno-religiosity with technology-integrated education and to examine whether these attitudes differ according to program type, gender, class level and place of residence. In the data collection process, the general survey model was used to measure secondary school students' attitudes towards technology. The study was conducted with 125 male students studying in the secondary education department of Science and Technology Hafiz Anatolian Imam Hatip High School and 146 female students studying in the secondary education department of Mehmet Akif İnan Hafiz Anatolian Imam Hatip High School. "Students' Attitude Scale Towards Technology (STAT)" prepared by Yurdugül and Aşkar and "Techno-religiosity Scale (TDS)" prepared by Torun were used as data collection tools. The research data were collected in digital environment and analyzed and interpreted in computer environment. In the analysis of the data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied to test the normality of the distribution. When the normality test was examined, it was seen that the data showed normal distribution in terms of all analyzes. Due to the normality of the distribution, independent groups t-test was preferred for the comparison of the sample and one-way analysis of variance was preferred for the comparison of more than two samples. As a result of the study, a significant difference was found between the attitudes towards technology of the students studying in the hafiz project together with formal education and the class level and gender (p<.0.05). However, no significant difference was detected regarding techno-religiosity in the context of class level and gender independent variables (p<0.05). On the other hand, no significant difference was detected in terms of place of residence and program type in the context of attitude towards technology and techno-religiosity (p<0.05).
