ROLE OF ADAPTABILITY QUOTIENT IN FOSTERING TEACHERS' ATTITUDE TOWARDS DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

Adaptability Quotient is an emerging buzzword in the educational field. Skills required for present day teaching jobs
are evolving at a rapid pace and one such important skill is to adapt to the technological change. However, there are
possibilities that teachers may have difficulty in adapting the technology, and if this concern is left undiagnosed and
untreated, it may hamper the growth of the educational system. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to
investigate Adaptability Quotient of school teachers and its impact on their teaching attitude. The participants of the
study included 81 school teachers from Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane. The research adopted Descriptive
Correlational method. The primary data was collected through questionnaire. The results revealed that teachers who
had higher Adaptability Quotient had better attitude towards using digital technology in their teaching. It was
highlighted that teachers should make an effort to improve their Adaptability Quotient in order to develop a better
teaching attitude towards the changes evolving in the system and thereby be successful at achieving educational goals.
