  • Abstract:
  • The rapid growth of digital technology has changed the nature of teaching and learning at the higher secondary level. Virtual learning is now widely used in schools for classroom teaching assessment and academic interaction. Teachers play a central role in making virtual learning meaningful and effective. Their level of proficiency in using digital tools directly influences the quality of online teaching. Teacher attitude towards online resources also shapes how often and how well these resources are used. Interest in incorporating technology reflects a teacher’s readiness to adopt new teaching practices. This study focuses on higher secondary education teachers and examines three major aspects. These aspects include proficiency in virtual learning attitudes towards online resources and interest in incorporating technology in teaching. The study follows a descriptive survey approach. Data were collected from higher secondary teachers through a structured questionnaire. The tool was designed to measure teachers’ skills confidence and perceptions related to virtual learning and technology use. The findings of the study indicate that most teachers possess basic proficiency in virtual learning platforms. Many teachers are able to conduct online classes use digital teaching materials and manage virtual classrooms effectively. However some teachers still face difficulties due to limited training and technical support. The study also reveals that teachers generally hold positive attitudes towards online resources. They believe that digital content helps in improving understanding student engagement and access to updated information. Teachers view online resources as supportive tools rather than replacements for traditional teaching. The study further shows that a large number of teachers express strong interest in incorporating technology into their regular teaching practice. They are willing to learn new digital tools and teaching methods. Interest is found to be higher among teachers who receive institutional support and training. Overall the study highlights the need for continuous professional development infrastructure support and policy level initiatives to strengthen virtual learning practices at the higher secondary level.
