Abstract

This study explores the knowledge, skills and attitudes of Chinese university teachers in digital adoption. The study is conducted from various aspects, including respondents' profiles, knowledge levels, skills, attitudes, and challenges they face in improving their digital application capabilities, with the aim of identifying areas for improvement. In addition, differences in assessment will be explored based on the respondents' profiles, which will help to gain insights into the perceptions of Chinese university teachers on digital adoption. Ultimately, based on the findings, the study aims to propose a robust Digital Application Capability Training Program (DACTP), for Chinese university teachers. The training program will serve as a practical guide for educators, provide valuable insights for comprehensively improving teachers' digital application competence, and provide data support for China's education reform and innovation, as well as for improving education quality and efficiency.
