Abstract
Digital awareness refers to the awareness of
the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for individuals to use digital
tools effectively. This investigation aimed to evaluate the level of digital
awareness among the teacher trainees. A descriptive survey was carried out on a
sample of 100 male and female B.Ed. students of Bareilly district using a self-developed
tool - D.A.T. (Digital Awareness Tool) containing 22 items based on the knowledge,
attitude, understanding of concepts, application to digitalization. Statistical
measures of mean, standard deviation and t-test were employed to analyze the
raw scores so obtained, test the hypotheses and draw inferences using MS-EXCEL.
The findings of the study revealed that the majority of B.Ed. students have
above average levels of digital awareness. There is a significant difference
between the level of digital awareness of male and female B.Ed. trainees, urban
and rural background teacher trainees. In contrast, no significant difference
in levels of digital awareness was reported in the case of English and Hindi
medium students or those from govt. aided and private B.Ed. colleges.
