Abstract The integration of digital resources into school education has gained considerable momentum in India, transforming traditional teaching–learning practices at the secondary level. Despite increased availability of digital tools, variations in students’ attitudes and patterns of utilisation continue to influence the effectiveness of technology-enabled learning, particularly in geographically diverse districts. The present study investigates the attitude of secondary school students towards digital resources and the extent of their utilisation in Idukki District of Kerala. Adopting a descriptive survey method, the study was conducted on a sample of 600 students studying in XI and XII classes, selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using standardised tools measuring attitude and utilisation of digital resources. The influence of demographic variables such as gender, class, locality, family type, parental education and parental occupation was analysed using appropriate statistical techniques. The findings indicate that students generally exhibit a favourable attitude towards digital resources, while significant differences in utilisation are observed across locality and parental background. A positive and significant relationship was found between students’ attitude towards digital resources and their utilisation. The study highlights the need for structured pedagogical guidance and equitable digital access to enhance meaningful use of digital resources in secondary education.
