Research on the Dilemmas and Strategies for Improving Digital Literacy of University Teachers

Abstract

With the arrival of the digital age and the rapid development of information technology, digital literacy has become a fundamental ability for university teachers in both teaching and research. However, university teachers currently face many challenges in improving their digital literacy, which not only affects the quality of education and teaching but also limits the innovation and development of higher education. This paper focuses on the dilemmas and strategies for enhancing digital literacy among university teachers. It begins by analyzing the connotation of digital literacy and its importance to educational reform. Then, through an analysis of the challenges at the individual, institutional, and technological levels, the main obstacles faced by university teachers in improving their digital literacy are revealed. Finally, strategies such as strengthening teacher training and support systems, optimizing policy support and incentive mechanisms, and building collaborative learning and practice platforms are proposed, aiming to provide practical guidance and theoretical support for enhancing digital literacy among university teachers.
