Abstract
Today, with the deep integration of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data into the field of education, the digital transformation of education has become the core engine driving the high-quality development of education. As a key support for the implementation of educational digitalization, teachers’ digital literacy directly determines the effectiveness of educational technology application and the depth of educational reform. Based on this, this paper conducts research on the pathways for cultivating teachers’ digital literacy empowered by educational technology in the era of intelligence, sorts out the current existing problems, analyzes the important value of teachers’ digital literacy cultivation, and explores practical cultivation pathways. It aims to provide theoretical reference and practical enlightenment for improving teachers’ digital literacy and promoting the digital transformation of education.
