Abstract :

The present study is a quantitative study and tries to measure the attitude level in using new technologies of the secondary school teachers in relation to their gender, strata, subject group and experience. Samples are drawn from the secondary schools of Hooghly District through random sampling technique. Samples are categorised into gender, strata, subject group and experience wise. For data analysis mean, SD, and t&ndash;test are computed. The study shows that attitudes towards using new technologies differ in relation to gender, strata, subject group and experience. Males have better attitudes in using technologies than their female counterparts. Urban teachers have better teaching aptitudes than rural teachers. Science teachers have better attitudes in using technologies than their counterparts. Above 10 years experienced teachers have lower attitudes in technologies than their counterparts. This study helps us to understand that how much teachers are effective in use technologies during their teaching learning process.
