Abstract

Promoting the digital transformation of education has become an important task in China’s current educational reform and development, and teachers’ digital literacy is a core influence factor in promoting digital transformation. In order to understand the current situation of the development of secondary school teachers’ digital literacy in ethnic areas, this study prepared a questionnaire based on the framework of the industry standard of “Teachers’ Digital Literacy”, and used the questionnaire method to survey 346 secondary school teachers in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan. The survey results show that the digital literacy of secondary school teachers in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture as a whole shows a moderate trend, and there are differences among all digital literacy dimensions; the digital literacy of teachers shows an overall decreasing trend with the growth of teaching years, age, education, and title, and even though the gap between the educational resources of the cities and counties, townships, and rural areas has been reduced in the process of pushing forward the digitalization of education, it still has a significant digital literacy Impact. The study suggests that we should further stimulate the teachers’ subjective consciousness and enhance their willingness to participate in digital teaching; optimize the training programs for teachers’ digital literacy and enhance the effectiveness of the training; improve the evaluation and incentive mechanism of teachers’ digital literacy, and form a good ecology for teachers’ development, so as to continuously improve the digital literacy of secondary school teachers in ethnic areas.
