Abstract :

The growth and future of our country highly depends upon the quality of the education system. Learning through technology has now become a part of students’ lifestyle. This research was undertaken to find out the technology readiness of PG English teachers working in government schools. 50 schools teachers were sampled and were administered the Technology Readiness questionnaire prepared by the investigators. The collected data was analyzed using percentage analysis and t–test. The results showed that of technological readiness of the teachers is not high and in an average it is only 30 %. Most of the teachers have an insecure feeling when using technology in their classroom. Hence the study recommends the urgent need to enhance the techno skills of teachers. Increasing technology readiness of teachers can contribute to the success of technology integration which in turn may contribute to the quality of education
