摘要：This study aimed at examining the knowledge, skills and attitudes of Omani social studies teachers to the use of computers in instruction. The sample consisted of 622 teachers from four regions and four stages. Data was collected by using a questionnaire. The results showed that social studies teachers lack computer skills but had positive attitudes towards their application in teaching. The study also showed that these teachers depended on themselves in developing their computer skills. Findings revealed differences in teachers' computer skills and attitudes towards using computers according to the region and stage they teach; but there were no differences according to gender. Results also showed that half of social studies teachers do not know any websites of Social Studies Centers or journals in either English or Arabic.

The study recommended developing teachers' computer skills and knowledge about journals and centers' websites, to benefit from them in teaching
