With the rapid development of information technology, the importance of information-based teaching in vocational education has increasingly become prominent. Enhancing the information technology teaching competence of vocational education teachers is a crucial approach to achieving educational modernization and improving education quality. This paper first explores the connotations and components of vocational education teachers' information technology teaching competence, analyzing the basic concepts, key elements, and hierarchical structure of this competence. It then identifies and analyzes the main challenges faced by vocational education teachers in enhancing their information technology teaching competence. Finally, it proposes specific strategies for improving this competence, such as strengthening information technology training, optimizing the information technology teaching environment, and innovating teaching design and assessment methods. Through the implementation of these strategies, teachers' educational and teaching abilities can be effectively improved, better aligning with the demands of vocational education in the information age and promoting high-quality educational development.
