Perception of the Teachers about Student’s Study Skills in Chennai District

Contemporary improvements in digital technology have profoundly influenced student
learning in educational institutions. To thrive in the 21st century and meet established
requirements, individuals must possess abilities such as problem-solving, particularly in digital
ecology related to student learning, study habits, e-learning methodologies, and the integration
of mobile phones in the educational process. The investigator seeks to understand teachers'
perceptions regarding their students' study skills in the Chennai district. This study employs
the survey approach. The technique of random sampling is employed to collect data.
Approximately 520 middle school teachers submitted the data, comprising 218 from the State board and
302 from the CBSE board. The adapted instrument developed by the Investigator from the Pew Research
Center's Intent and American Life Project online survey of middle and high school teachers (2012) was
employed to assess teachers' perceptions of students' study ability. The results indicated that middle
school teachers utilizing technology in classrooms, participating in conferences and workshops, and
engaging in in-service programs demonstrated superior digital ecology in relation to student learning,
study habits, and e-learning compared to their peers. It was also observed that CBSE board teachers
utilized digital technology more efficiently than State Board teachers.
