Abstract

Awareness of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) through KAP study in India has provided a deep insight into the perception of students of teacher education in a three-dimensional way. The current investigation examines the degree of awareness of MOOCs among students pursuing teacher education in state, private, and central universities in Central and Eastern India. Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP study) were employed in higher education institutions throughout central-eastern India to examine the awareness of MOOCs among B.Ed. and M.Ed. students. Descriptive statistics, as well as chi-square, were carried out to analyze students’ perceptions. The study’s findings showed that teacher education students at central, state, and state-private universities in Eastern India did not have proper information and awareness; therefore, their attitude towards MOOCs does not positively affect their practice. The chi-square test of association does not significantly associate concerning the nature of the university.
