Analysis

The Extent of Computer Use Scale (EOCUS) was developed to measure the frequency and intensity of computer usage in daily life. This scale can be applied in various contexts, including education, work, and personal life, to assess an individual’s familiarity with technology.

Objective

The primary goal of the scale is to evaluate how extensively and intensively people use computers. This assessment helps researchers, educators, and IT professionals better understand users’ habits, technological proficiency, and needs.

Calibration

The scale typically includes multiple dimensions of computer use, such as: Frequency of use, Duration of use, Level of expertise. Respondents rate their usage on a 5-point or 7-point Likert scale, ranging from “Very Rarely” to “Very Frequently”.
