Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has led to the widespread use of digital technologies, such as the Internet, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, in people's daily lives and social production. This usage has increased the demand for digital literacy among citizens. This paper comparative analysis of the five frameworks in the international arena, and establishes a preliminary set of digital literacy frameworks for our citizens. The framework consists of 7 main areas and 27 specific literacies, covering digital operation skills, information and digital content, digital communication, problem-solving, security, digital rights, and digital creation. It has been developed considering the current state and requirements of China's digital development, with the aim of fostering digital talents aligned with China's social progress, enhancing the overall level of digital literacy in society, and driving digital transformation and innovation.
