Abstract:
The rapid development of information technology has changed the ways of teaching and learning, and has also raised higher requirements for teachers’digital literacy. UNESCO has always played an important role in promoting the development of education. A key role in its educational informatization strategy is to promote the development of teachers’digital literacy. UNESCO pays attention to the development of teachers’digital literacy in order to enable teachers to meet the challenges of the digital age, and further to bridge the digital divide and promote educational equity. UNESCO provides open educational resources as supplementary resources for countries, develops frameworks as tools to promote teacher education action, and organizes teacher training projects as a guarantee to promote teacher practice in countries with insufficient resources. By understanding UNESCO’s concept and action of developing teachers’digital literacy and recognizing its advantages and disadvantages, China can learn from useful experiences and better participate in global educational governance.
