Abstract
The present study examines the impact of modernization in education on student-centered teaching effectiveness at the school level. In the context of rapid technological advancement and pedagogical transformation, the study aims to explore how modern educational practices influence classroom teaching and learning processes. A descriptive survey method was employed, and a sample of 80 teachers was selected from schools in Medinipur Sadar Block, Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, using a random sampling technique. Data were collected through two standardized instruments: the Modernization in Education Scale and the Student-Centered Teaching Effectiveness Scale. Statistical techniques such as mean, standard deviation, correlation, t-test, and ANOVA were used for analysis. The findings reveal that both modernization in education (Mean = 74.6) and student-centered teaching effectiveness (Mean = 71.2) are at relatively high levels among teachers. A strong positive and statistically significant relationship (r = 0.68, p < 0.01) was found between modernization and teaching effectiveness, indicating that increased use of modern tools and innovative pedagogies enhances student-centered practices. The t-test results showed no significant gender differences in teaching effectiveness, while ANOVA results confirmed that modernization has a significant impact on teaching effectiveness (F = 9.84, p < 0.05). The study concludes that modernization—through the integration of ICT, digital resources, and innovative teaching strategies—plays a crucial role in improving teaching effectiveness by fostering active learning, student engagement, and critical thinking. The findings highlight the need for strengthening digital infrastructure and providing continuous professional development to teachers for effective implementation of modern educational practices.
