A significant difference was found between the male & female in favor of female computer teachers in the area of computer hardware & accessories. No significant difference was found between the other variables of the study in this area, and no significant differences were found between the interactions of the variables of the study in this area.
A significant difference was found between years of experience in favor of the computer teachers who have more than 20 years of teaching experience in the area of Internet & E-learning, and no significant difference was found between the other variables of the study in this area.
