Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) on teaching competency among B.Ed. student-teachers in Dimapur District, Nagaland. Utilizing a demographic approach, the research aims to assess how varying levels of TPACK influence the teaching competency of student-teachers, focusing on different demographic factors such as age, gender, educational background, and prior technology experience. A sample of 390 B.Ed. student-teachers were surveyed using a structured questionnaire measuring TPACK components and teaching competency. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and multiple regression to explore the relationships between TPACK and teaching competency, accounting for demographic variables. Results indicate a significant positive correlation between TPACK and teaching competency, with variations based on demographic factors. The study highlights the need for targeted TPACK training to enhance teaching effectiveness and offers recommendations for integrating TPACK principles into teacher education programs in the region.
