Research on the Current Status and Improvement Strategies of Digital Technology Competence among Teachers and Students in Vocational Colleges of Eastern,Western,and Northern Guangdong under the Background of Industry 4.0
In the context of Industry 4.0 and the digital era,the digital technology competence of teachers and students in vocational schools is key to improving educational quality.This study,taking six vocational schools in the eastern,western,and northern regions of Guangdong as examples,surveyed 272 teachers and students across dimensions such as digital technology awareness,operational skills,and critical thinking.The results show that the competence of both teachers and students is relatively low across all dimensions,with little variation.Therefore,this paper proposes strategies including systematic training,curriculum integration,innovative teaching,resource support,and regular evaluation.Especially with the widespread use of AIGC tools,enhancing the application of generative artificial intelligence technologies will help promote the development of vocational education.
