Abstract
Research for this project began by contacting three middle schools in the Utah Valley area, American Fork Junior High, Oak Canyon Junior High, and Lehi Junior High. These schools were asked to participate in a research project that would discover the students’ attitudes and concepts of technology at the middle school level. The Principals, Faculty, and students involved, all cooperated well with the survey. Many teachers and principals expressed a strong interest in the findings of this research. Overall, this was a valuable and successful project. Through the use of this survey, some very fascinating information concerning the concepts and attitudes that junior high students have towards technology, has been discovered.
