Data were collected via Attitude towards Computer Programming Scale (AtCPS).The results of this study show that students have neutral attitudes towards computer programming in general. Male computer programming students have significantly higher attitudes towards programming in comparison to female computer programming students. In addition, attitude towards computer programming statistically varies by grade. The higher is grade, the lower is attitude. The more time CEIT and computer programming students spend on computer for programming purposes daily, the more positive attitudes they have towards programming. Attitude significantly varies by graduated high school only among CEIT students.
