TECHNICAL SKILLS AMONG THE TEACHER TRAINEES

Technical skills are the skills that are required to use technology. Technology is referred to as the combination of art and science, which also may concern the ability to use scientific knowledge in an artistic way. In the field of education, the presentation of knowledge/information is much more important than having the concepts or content within and nowadays technology has enormously changed the concept of presenting knowledge. It actually increases the efficiency of presentation, especially in the field of education. Since the 19th century, we are using technology in the field of education to make it easier, more interesting, and more effective. Several theories and concepts of psychology and technology are being used for better results. So, it becomes necessary for the students of teacher education that they should have the skills which may help them to present their knowledge or information in an effective manner and technology may be a concern as the only path by which they can do it. Therefore, the present study was conducted on 150 teacher trainees from different colleges/institutes affiliated with HNB Garhwal University, Srinagar Uttarakhand. In this descriptive research, a self-made questionnaire was used to identify the technical skill level of teacher trainees through a google form. In this paper, we have discussed the level of technical skills among the teacher trainees in the context of gender, subject stream, habitation, and educational institutions.
