In the world's history, we have seen the changes of resources from generation to generation. People can gain access to developed resources. Science and technology have given various platforms to improve the quality of human life. The 21st century is about science and technology. The human capital of a particular nation is the backbone of that nation's development. Citizens' knowledge and capacity can help that country develop in accordance with the needs of the situation. In this study, researchers are finding technological literacy among students who are taking professional education in Osmanabad City.
The definition of literacy changes as and when new instruments are introduced. Reading and writing were the primary intentions of educational literacy, but afterwards it changed to using education for living life. Similarly, different levels of literacy are required of a country's citizens. As we say, the 21st century is about science and technology. It is very much necessary to know the status of technological literacy and that of students because students are those who are getting maximum resources for learning and they are young enough to take on the challenges of learning new tools. Students have access to a variety of technological tools such as smartphones, computers, tablets, and so on, but do they use these tools to analyse and evaluate the information they receive before drawing conclusions? Do they use technical tools for their work? Are they comfortable handling technical tools? Are they using the technical tools responsibly? Is there a role for technological tools in their daily lives? The researcher is trying to get the answers to these sub-questions from the study.
