Abstract: Physics at the higher secondary level often poses difficulties for learners due to abstract concepts and limited experimental exposure. The present action research study investigates the effectiveness of a digital pedagogy programme integrating simulations, virtual laboratories, animations, and a learning management system (LMS) in teaching the topic Laws of Motion to XI standard SSC Board students in Maharashtra. The study adopted a pre-test–post-test Control group and experimental group research design with a sample of 30 students in each group. Digital instructional strategies were implemented over a period of two weeks. Data were collected using achievement tests, observation schedules, and learner feedback forms. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and learning engagement. The study concludes that digital pedagogy enhances the quality of physics teaching and supports experiential learning in alignment with contemporary educational reforms. Digital pedagogy programme thus holds significant potential for transforming physics education in Maharashtra schools.
