Enhancement Pathways of Pre-Service Teachers’ Digital Literacy in the Context of Educational Digital Transformation

Abstract

In the context of the educational digital transformation, digital literacy has become a key competency for teacher professional development. As the future teaching workforce, enhancing the digital literacy of pre-service teachers is not only a practical necessity to adapt to the development of digital education but also a crucial foundation for reforming the teaching workforce and achieving personalized teaching. Currently, the cultivation of pre-service teachers’ digital literacy faces multiple challenges, including constraints posed by their academic backgrounds, a fragmented curriculum system, and a lack of collaborative mechanisms. Therefore, this paper proposes that effective enhancement of pre-service teachers’ digital literacy can be achieved through pathways such as forming specialized digital literacy teaching teams, constructing a systematic digital literacy curriculum system, and establishing multi-stakeholder collaboration mechanisms for digital literacy education. This will lay a solid foundation for high-quality development in future education.
