Özet: Nowadays; the usage of technology is not a privilege but an obligation. Technological developments influence structures and functions of educational institutions. It is also expected from the teachers that they integrate technology in their lessons in order to educate the individuals of information society. This research has covered 145(68 female, 78 male) students, studying in Near East University Faculty of Education. The Computer Skills Scale developed by Güçlü (2010) was used as a data collecting tool. Data were analysed using SPSS software program. In this study, students’ computer skills were investigated; the variations in the relationships between computer skills and (a) gender, (b) family’s net monthly income, (c) presence of computers at home, (d) presence of a computer laboratory at school and (e) parents’ computer skills were examined. Frequency analysis, percentage and mean calculations were used. In addition, t-test and multi-variate analysis were used to look at the relationship between different variables. As a result of this study, a statistically significant relationship between computer skills of students who had a computer at home and computer skills of those who didn’t have a computer at home were found.
