NETS-T Educational Technology Practices of English Medium Secondary School Teachers in Kolhapur City

Abstract

Background: NETS-T Standards for teachers define the knowledge and skills that teachers or educators need to have in order to successfully and effectively integrate technology in teaching and learning.

Purpose: It is essential for every community to know the status of their teachers’ NETS-T educational technology practices.

Methods: A questionnaire consisting of 6 educational technology factors, with a number of items or performance indicators, under each factor was administered to 76 Grade 10 English medium Secondary School teachers. The sample included 14 male teachers, and 62 female teachers from 11 schools that were conveniently selected.

Results: Findings were that most teachers strongly agree to the items mentioned under the TOC factor and PPP factor, while most of them agreed to the items mentioned under PDL, AAE, SEL, and TLC factors. A significant statistical difference in the distribution of the average scores of items for pairwise comparisons of some schools was found under TOC, PDL, AAE and PPP items.

Conclusions:There was no significant statistical difference in the distribution of average scores of items for pairwise comparisons of schools under SEL and TLC factors.
