Exploring Techno-Pedagogical Competence of Secondary Teachers

This book, 'Techno-Pedagogy Skill of Secondary School Teachers,' examines the vital role of technology in 21st-century education and its integration with pedagogy to enhance teaching effectiveness. Based on a research study conducted in Anand Taluka, Gujarat, it evaluates the level of techno-pedagogical skills among secondary school teachers and how these vary with age, gender, work experience, medium of instruction, teaching subject, and area. The study gains relevance amid the digital transformation in education accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasize technology-enabled learning. Through systematic analysis, the book identifies strengths and gaps in teachers’ digital competence and underscores the need for professional development programs to enhance these skills. Offering valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and teacher training institutions, this book aims to advance understanding of how technology can be effectively integrated into pedagogy to enhance the quality of teaching and learning in the evolving educational landscape.
