The purpose of this research was to determine computer self-efficacy, performance outcome, personal outcome, affective outcome and anxiety level of physical education teacher candidates. Also influence of computer usage and taking computer course on computer self-efficacy level were determined too. The subjects of this study were physical education teacher candidates from 3 universities with a total of 452. Data were collected by survey which was developed by Compeau and Higgins in 1995 and translated to Turkish by researcher. The results of the study showed that there was no significant difference between male and female students in their computer self-efficacy, performance outcome, personal outcome and affective outcome but significant difference was found in their anxiety level with female students had lower anxiety level than male students. This study showed that as the duration and frequency of computer usage increases, students' computer self-efficacy increases too.
