As a result of innovations in mathematics education around the world, in Turkey both elementary and secondary school mathematics curricula have changed since 2005. The new curriculum demands integrating Computer Assisted Mathematics Instruction (CAMI) that provides meaningful mathematics learning experiences to students. The negative beliefs against using computer will have caused the failure of this process. The aim of this study is to define the beliefs of primary and secondary education mathematics teachers from the point of different parameters on CAMI. A public questionnaire containing three sub-dimensions was administered to 76 mathematics teachers all of whom working in Trabzon and its districts. According to the findings; a great number mathematics teachers do not have positive beliefs about computer usage in mathematics education and some of them are indecisive. As a result of the study; experience, teaching level and computer literacy level were determined to be factor shaping the beliefs.
