FACTORS INFLUENCING ADOPTION OF DIGITAL EDUCATION BY SCHOOL TEACHERS: A STUDY ON DELHI GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS

Abstract

This summer research report, titled "Factors influencing adoption of Digital Education by school teachers: A study on Delhi Government Schools", encapsulates comprehensive research on the adoption of digital education products by the teachers in Delhi government schools. The primary objective of the research was to acquire practical experience in conducting research, formulating hypotheses, and constructing a research model. This executive summary offers a concise overview of the main methodologies, findings, and implications derived from the research. The research commenced with an extensive review of prior research in the domain of digital education and its adoption among teachers and students. The report emphasizes the following key points: Methodology: I employed a systematic approach to assess the adoption of various digital educational tools currently utilized in Delhi government schools. My primary aim was to evaluate the efficacy of digital educational tools in Delhi government schools for instructional purposes. It was imperative to investigate how digital technologies influence student performance as educational institutions increasingly integrate them to enhance course effectiveness. I employed suitable tools and methods to accomplish our research objectives. Employing a descriptive research design, we utilized a quantitative research strategy. Teacher data was collected through surveys, and data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS software. Challenges and Learning: The research journey was not without its challenges. Reviewing existing literature to comprehend the state of knowledge in our field was a time-consuming endeavor. It could be overwhelming, and it was crucial to ensure that our research was innovative and added to the existing body of knowledge. Gathering data presented logistical challenges, which included issues related to access, ethical considerations, and the requirement for specialized equipment or software. Nonetheless, the experience fostered critical thinking skills, encouraging us to question assumptions, evaluate evidence, and think analytically.Outcomes and Recommendations: Our research revealed that the use of digital education can have an impact on students' academic performance. Based on our findings, we propose recommendations for the development of a clear policy that outlines the utilization of digital educational products in the classroom. This policy should be aligned with a strategic objective supported by a set of key performance indicators. In conclusion, the "Investigating the Factors Affecting the Uptake of Digital Education Among School Teachers: A Research Study in Delhi Government Schools" research provided valuable insights into the realm of research. This research analysis is distinct in two significant ways: firstly, it examines the predominant factors influencing technology adoption among teachers and students in India, and secondly, it introduces a conceptual model based on prior Indian research utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The knowledge and perspectives gained from this research are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of research and its implications. This report stands as a testament to the dedication, expertise, and adaptability required in the field of research,particularly in the context of digital education.
