However, no data-based research has been published regarding how working health educators in any setting are actually using computer technology now, or how they expect to use computers in the near future. The purpose of this study was to determine how professional health educators are currently using computers and how they expect to use computers in the next 5 years. We report the results of a mail survey of a national random sample of working health educators (n = 400). Data pertain to tasks performed with computers now and in the near future (3-5 years) and the types of computer programs currently used. Internet, word processing, and electronic presentation skills were found to be of greatest importance. The results of this study provide guidelines for the development of curriculum components in professional preparation programs to address needed competencies. pubtype: Periodical doctype: CEU exam questions research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
