Abstract

With the development of education modernization, network technology and artificial intelligence and other technologies are more and more widely used in education. However, the use of technology indoctrination teaching is more detrimental to student development than traditional indoctrination teaching, and in the process of education, a series of problems such as teachers’ professional education, professional training, and teaching facilities affect teachers’ development of ICT knowledge. What stage is the current information and communication technology (ICT) application ability of teachers, what are the factors affecting teachers’ ICT application ability, and how to improve teachers’ information literacy and promote teachers’ professional development with informatization are urgent problems that need to be solved. Based on the technology acceptance model, theory of reasoned action, theory of planned behavior and unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, this study explores the influencing factors of teachers’ development of ICT knowledge in private vocational colleges, develops questionnaires and scales that affect teachers’ development of ICT knowledge , and studies the factors affecting ICT awareness towards the development of ICT knowledge among private vocational teachers in JiangXi Province ,China. Questionnaire surveys were conducted on teachers from five private vocational colleges in Jiangxi Province to construct a conceptual framework and study the driving factors behind them.
