ABSTRACT

As the national strategy for educational digitalization advances in depth, the digital transformation of vocational education has become a key lever for improving the quality of technical and skilled talent cultivation and promoting educational modernization. As key implementers of this transformation, the digital teaching literacy of higher vocational education teachers directly affects the actual effectiveness of deep integration between digital technology and vocational education. However, the current development of digital teaching literacy among higher vocational education teachers still faces practical challenges. This paper innovatively introduces the Innovation Value Chain Theory as an analytical framework to systematically examine the necessity of constructing digital teaching literacy for higher vocational education teachers. Through theoretical analysis at the macro, meso, and micro levels, it identifies six major challenges in the three stages of idea generation, idea transformation, and idea diffusion. In response to these challenges, this paper proposes a systematic construction pathway based on the three stages of the innovation value chain, aiming to provide a theoretically robust and practically operable solution for the professional development of higher vocational education teachers in the new era.
