Abstract

Technology based teaching has been supported for nearly five decades in India. The Universalisation of Secondary Education policy of our government (India) in its Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Ashiyan (RMSA) programme introduced Smart classroom and provided amenities for operation. Support for the significance in teaching learning programme is clear through the mandates and program development yet the question still arises related to the rigor of this approach to teaching and learning. The researchers had the finding out its utility in reality. This study focuses on work done in the Pondicherry Union territory. A Stratified random sampling technique was used for analysis to identify participants to determine if rigor was evident and at what levels. Therefore, the findings may be of help to the policymakers to make necessary actions in future implementation.
