Abstract
This study is based on mixeddesignentitled“Attitude of Master Level Students
TowardsICT in Mathematics Education.”The purpose of thisresearch isto findthe
attitude of master level students towards ICT in mathematics education and tocompare
the attitude between boy’s andgirl’sstudents towards ICT in mathematics education.
The sample of the study consisted from Tribhuvan UniversityKirtipur,
Kathmandu.The data were collected fromquestionnaireand interview.Altogether 100
students wereconsidered as the sample (85 boys and 15 girls) by random sampling

This shows that there is significance difference between the attitude ofboy’sstudents
and girls students.
The study concluded thatthere is a positive attitude towards ICT in mathematics
education and significance difference between the attitude ofboy’s andgirl’sstudents
towards ICT in mathematics education.It is also concludedthat there is well designed
course, sufficient materials and equipment’s in ICT lab,effective learning activities,
goodinternet access and evaluation system of ICT in mathematics education.
