This study explores the relationship between modernity and superstition among student teachers enrolled in the College of Education in Shirpur City. Employing a correlational research design, the investigation aimed to determine whether higher levels of modernity correlate with lower levels of superstition. The study utilized standardized scales to measure modernity and superstition, surveying a sample of 120 student teachers through purposive sampling. Data analysis revealed a significant inverse relationship between the two constructs, suggesting that increased modern attitudes are associated with a decline in superstitious beliefs. The findings have implications for teacher education curricula and highlight the importance of fostering scientific temper and rational thinking in future educators.
