Abstract :
The rapid growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has transformed the teaching-learning process, particularly through the availability of electronic journals (e-journals). E-journals contribute significantly to improving the quality of education and academic performance. They are important in fast-changing fields like education, science, and technology and student-teachers can read recent studies, trends, and innovations. They lead to better academic performance of the student-teachers and help them understand topics beyond text books. This study investigates the impact of reading e-journals among B.Ed. student-teachers. A descriptive survey method was adopted, and data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The findings reveal that e-journals significantly enhance subject knowledge, teaching competency, research skills, and self-learning ability. However, issues such as lack of training, internet connectivity, and information overload still persist. The study concludes that e-journals play a crucial role in teacher education and recommends improving digital literacy among student-teachers.
