Quantitative data were collected from 150 student teachers in the Tiruchirappalli District using structured questionnaire with sections on demographics, digital tool usage, and techno-pedagogical attitude. Participants were selected through stratified random sampling technique including 60 male, 90 female, and an equal number of first- and second-year students from Arts and Science groups. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, ‘t’-tests, and Pearson's correlation coefficient, revealed that female student teachers had significantly more positive attitudes than males mean while no significant difference was observed between first- and second-year student teacher .Science student teacher had positive attitude than the arts student teacher. A positive correlation was found between attitudes and the frequency of digital tool integration in teaching practice.
