Science Teacher Competency and Digital Pedagogy in Secondary Schools of Odisha

Author(s) Mr. Yudhistira Das
Country India
Abstract Science education plays a crucial role in developing scientific knowledge, critical thinking, innovation, and technological awareness among secondary school students. Its quality largely depends on the competency, pedagogical skills, and digital adaptability of science teachers. In recent years, rapid technological advancement, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, and post-pandemic educational transformation have significantly reshaped classroom teaching in India, emphasizing competency-based learning, experiential approaches, and ICT integration. The present study examines science teacher competency and digital pedagogical practices in secondary schools of Odisha using secondary sources of data. It focuses on the current status of science teaching practices, the extent of ICT integration, challenges faced by teachers, and the role of professional development in improving instructional effectiveness. The study reveals that although teachers are gradually adopting modern and technology-enabled teaching methods, traditional lecture-based practices still dominate in many schools. Key constraints include inadequate infrastructure, limited digital resources, and insufficient training opportunities. The study suggests strengthening ICT infrastructure, enhancing teacher training programmes, and promoting experiential and digital learning approaches to improve science education quality at the secondary level in Odisha. The findings are expected to support policy improvements and academic interventions aimed at enhancing science teaching effectiveness in the state.
