Technology Readiness

The degree to which an individual, organization, or system is prepared to effectively adopt and use new technologies, encompassing infrastructure availability, digital literacy, institutional support, and attitudinal acceptance. Research with TVIs in India reveals that technology readiness is not simply an individual attribute but is shaped by systemic factors: even enthusiastic, capable teachers face barriers when schools lack internet, restrict device use, or provide no training. The concept highlights that successful GenAI deployment requires addressing readiness at individual, institutional, and ecosystem levels simultaneously.
