Abstract

Under the background of informationization, the regional economic and social development is in urgent need of technical and skilled talents with strong information literacy and competence, and the informatization teaching ability of higher vocational teachers is a key factor in improving the quality of talent training. The findings show that teachers in vocational colleges and universities exhibit significant levels of information literacy and pedagogical integration, which constitute the technological cornerstone of teaching practice. Communication and collaboration skills played a key role in instructional improvement, while research and innovation represented the highest pursuit of teacher development. However, in terms of resource preparation, there is a need for targeted training and support for teachers and enhanced infrastructure provision for effective integration of technology. The critical importance of integrating research into instructional technology underscores the need for continuous professional development for teachers. It is also crucial to provide students with advanced digital tools to facilitate better collaboration and communication, while fostering critical and creative thinking through design thinking approaches.
