Abstract
The current study assesses the techno-pedagogical competence of senior secondary teachers in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), Assam. The sample of the study consisted of 100 senior secondary teachers who were chosen by using the purposive sampling technique. In order to test the null hypotheses, data was collected using the Teachers’ Techno-pedagogical Competence Scale (S. Rajasekar and K. Sathiyaraj, 2013). The collected data were scored, tabulated, and evaluated using mean, percentage, SD, Z-score, t-test, and p-value to conclude. Results of the present study are as follows: i) Regarding the level of teachers’ techno-pedagogical competency, it is found that 1% is extremely high, 9% is high, 19% is above average, 45% is average, 10% is below average, 9% is low, and 7% is very low. ii) No statistically significant differences were found in techno-pedagogical competency between arts and science senior secondary teachers. iii) No statistically significant differences were found in techno-pedagogical competency between male and female teachers. iv) A significant variation was found between urban and rural senior secondary teachers in techno-pedagogical competency. Practically, the study results indicated the importance of ICT training for their pedagogical improvement and bridging the techno-pedagogical competence gap among teachers in Kokrajhar, Assam, particularly in addressing the disparities observed between urban and rural senior secondary teachers.
