Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid advancement of digital technologies, digitization in vocational education has become a major trend. Among these advancements, digital textbooks have emerged at the forefront of digitization, significantly impacting both their form and content. This article aims to analyze the existing issues in the use of digital textbooks in vocational education and emphasize the importance of recognizing the vital role of teachers in the wave of digital textbook innovation. It is crucial to clarify the role and positioning of teachers to avoid inadvertently diminishing their classroom significance while prioritizing technological innovations. Teachers should fully leverage the role of digital textbooks as tools for organizing classroom activities and recognize the core and essence of classroom teaching as digital technologies enter the scope of vocational education. By doing so, teachers can contribute to the high-quality development of modern vocational education.
