A comprehensive reading comprehension passage question for UGC NET 2025 Paper 1, along with a set of MCQs and explanations.
In recent years, the debate surrounding the integration of technology in education has intensified. Proponents argue that digital tools enhance engagement, facilitate personalized learning, and equip students with 21st-century skills. Critics, however, caution against overreliance on technology, citing concerns such as screen fatigue, reduced social interaction, and the digital divide that exacerbates inequality.
Studies indicate that when used appropriately, educational technology can complement traditional teaching methods and support diverse learning needs. Yet, effective implementation requires more than just access to devices. It involves teacher training, curriculum alignment, and consideration of students' emotional and cognitive well-being. As education systems evolve, the focus must shift from the mere availability of technology to how meaningfully it is integrated into pedagogy.
