Abstract
This study investigates the current status and influencing factors of digital teaching capabilities among early childhood education teachers in higher vocational colleges in China. A survey of 50 teachers from five colleges reveals that teachers' digital teaching capabilities are at an initial stage, with shortcomings in resource development, technology application, online teaching, and collaboration. The influencing factors include personal factors like digital teaching philosophy and external factors such as policy support and training. Also, the study proposes strategies to enhance capabilities, including optimizing top-level design, improving training, building platforms, and perfecting evaluation. The findings provide insights for enhancing digital transformation and improving talent cultivation in early childhood education.
