Abstract: A Comparative Study of Curiosity in Context of the Digital Competence Level of B.Ed Student- teachers was undertaken .The population was prospective teachers who were undergoing the second year B.Ed. programme in the Colleges of Education Affiliated by CCS University Meerut, UP. Curiosity refers to a state of urge to learn and acquire facts and knowledge. In the present study, the investigator had adopted survey method in view of realizing the objectives of the study. To collect the pertinent data for the present investigation, the investigator has used ‘Scale of 5 Dimensions Curiosity, prepared by Alka Singh and Dr. Arun Kumar (2024) ’,as research tools for the data collection. Which is used to measure it in this study. Using the stratified random sample technique, the researcher chosen 200 second-year B.Ed students. To investigate how the groups differed in their Curiosity, a two-sample t-test was used. A statistically significant difference was found in the results, and an extremely significant result was shown by a two-tailed. According to these results, male’s curiosity is more digitally competent than female. The study’s conclusions highlight the necessity of focused interventions aimed at improving student-teachers’ proficiency of technology. The research shows that B.Ed. students who use Curiosity more confident in their digital competence teaching and their interactions with students change their behaviour positively. Therefore, it should be included as an essential skill in the training of B.Ed. students, so that they can become efficient and effective teachers.
