Focusing on the current status of information literacy among primary school teachers in the digital age, this study surveyed 439 teachers through a questionnaire and found that their overall level was moderate. Teachers were strong in information awareness but weak in information knowledge, competence, responsibility, and professional development. There were no significant differences among teachers from different backgrounds, indicating a general need to enhance information literacy. The study proposes enhancement strategies and looks at future research directions to promote the overall enhancement of teachers' information literacy.
