In the early phase trade institutes, there after polytechnics and later on the colleges of technology emerged. The current endeavor is an effort to explore the students’ attitude towards technology. About 3338 respondents served as sample from final year of Civil, Electrical and Mechanical technologies being offered in 11 public and 33 private Polytechnic Institutes and Colleges of Technology in Punjab province of Pakistan. In order to measure attitude towards technology Pupils' Attitudes towards Technology (PATT) USA instrument was adapted. The instrument was developed by Prof. Dr. Marc De Vries. The findings of the study depicted that significant and positive correlation existed between all factors of PATT USA scale. It was concluded that students attitude toward technology was positive. The public and private sector respondents reflected parallel attitude towards technology. In comparison among Civil, Electrical and Mechanical technology respondents, there was significant variation in their attitude towards technology.  \nKeywords: Attitude, technology, polytechnic institutions, public and private sector,(PATT) USA  \n*Assistant Professor, Institute of Education and Research, University of the Punjab, Lahore-Pakistan [Email: Tariqedu71@yahoo.com](Email: Tariqedu71@yahoo.com)  \n**Professor, Institute of Education and Research, University of the Punjab, Lahore-Pakistan  \nIntroduction  \nThe development of human resources is imperative as capital investment for the financial viability of a nation. Technical workforce is an essential condition to boost productivity. Training of skilled workers in professional and valuable way is a challenge faced by developed and developing countries alike in a world of swift technological change and increasing international contest. It has become obligatory for the countries like Pakistan to go forward in technical education.  \nTechnical education is a wide-ranging term mentioning those facets of educational processes involving in accumulation to general education; the study of technologies and associated sciences and acquisition of practical skills, attitudes, understanding and knowledge, relating to occupation in numerous sectors of economic and social life (Ali, 2003) .  \nIn Pakistan the skilled manpower is trained at three levels; vocational education to train skilled manpower at first basic level; middle/ second ladder technical education prepares its graduates for supervisory roles, and higher level technical and professional education prepares the technologists and leaders (Mirza& Khan, 2000) .  \nThe need for appropriate technical education at all levels has been sensed since independence. The importance of human resources for achieving selfsufficiency was explicitly emphasized by the founder of the nation, Quiad-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in his message to the participants of the All Pakistan Educational Conference (1947) explained the need of technical education by endorsing the associated factors. He quoted education for acquiring scientific and technical education by people for building up future economic life.  \nThe variable attitude towards technology was conceptualized to determine whether the students of Polytechnic Institutes (PIs) and Colleges of Technology (CTs) in Pakistan have a favorable attitude towards technology. Determining the students’ attitudes toward Technology is the primary step to improve and implement a comprehensive technical education program.  \nDetermining the students' Attitude toward Technology facilitates teachers and curriculum planners to consider and appraise the technical education program and its appropriate structures. Since the variable “Attitude towards technology” is quite distinguishing in its structure and there is a need to deliver empirical data about it.  \nState","cbCaijty0EpVSecm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijty0EpVSecm","pdf",585338,14,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Statement of the Problem\n## Objectives of the Study\n## Research Questions\n## Research Design\n## Sample","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the study on students’ attitude toward technology?\",\"answer\":\"The study explores students’ attitude toward technology to support the understanding and enhancement of technical education outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"How was students’ attitude toward technology measured?\",\"answer\":\"The study adapted the Pupils' Attitudes towards Technology (PATT) USA instrument developed by Prof. Dr. Marc De Vries.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the study conclude about students’ overall attitude toward technology?\",\"answer\":\"Students’ attitude toward technology was positive, and public and private sector respondents showed parallel attitudes.\"}]","Students’ Attitude towards Technology - A Study from Pakistan | PDF",1792082012,35]
