“…The integration of ICT can address these challenges by providing vocational students with abundant access to resources and improve students' self‐learning ability and study satisfaction (Yorganci, 2020). As ICT becomes increasingly prevalent in higher vocational education, it aligns better with vocational education, emphasizing practical experience and meeting industry demands (Cai & Qian, 2021). This not only promotes the guarantee of vocational education quality under the trend of informatization, but also leads the reform and development of high vocational education in the digital age (Yang et al, 2023).…”

BackgroundHigher vocational education is an essential part of the higher education system that complements conventional education. In the context of information and communication technology (ICT) development and academic competition, more and more literature has proved the importance of ICT use in educational development (academic achievement and mental health) and the relationship between information literacy and the educational development of higher vocational students.ObjectivesBased on one of the most extensive surveys of higher vocational students, the study combined the Opportunity‐Propensity (O‐P) framework and ecological model to explore the direct effects of different types of ICT use on educational development and the indirect effects from psychological and social factors.MethodsThe data involved 28,956 students from seven higher vocational colleges. The class fixed effect and causal mediation analysis models verified the results.Results and ConclusionThe results found differential effects of different types of ICT use on academic achievement and mental health. Information literacy ability can improve the academic achievement of higher vocational students, but at the cost of mental health. ICT use not only directly impacts the academic achievement and mental health, but also has an indirect impact through psychological factors represented by self‐efficacy and technostress and social factors represented by social support.ImplicationsThis study promotes integrating and expanding the O‐P framework and ecological model, enriching the relevant research in ICT use and educational development. Meanwhile, it also provides practical suggestions for realizing rational interventions in ICT use and improving the educational development level of higher vocational students.

This study aimed to explore what factors affect teachers’ acceptance and instructional use of ICT in Chinese higher vocational colleges. Grounded in the modified UTAUT model, the current study investigated the direct and indirect effects of teachers’ performance expectancy, effort expectancy, external conditions, and behavioral intentions on using ICT in teaching. A total of 6087 teachers from 219 vocational colleges in 28 provinces in China participated in a large-scale survey. Structural equation modeling revealed that the teachers’ psychological perceptions (including performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and intention to use ICT technology) and the external support conditions (including professional development support, infrastructures, the climate of organizational reform and innovation, and teacher performance assessment mechanisms) significantly directly affect the use of ICT in Chinese higher vocational college teachers’ teaching practice. Moreover, this study confirmed the mediating role of teachers’ intention to use ICT in teaching in the relationship between teachers’ psychological perceptions and ICT instructional usage behavior. However, there were differences in the significance of these variables in the chain effect of teachers’ intention to use ICT. These findings expand our understanding of the factors influencing ICT use in teaching among VET teachers in China and thus provide practical implications for higher vocational college managers to promote teachers’ ICT teaching behaviors.

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in personalized learning has demonstrated remarkable advantages, including intelligent assessment, resource recommendation, and teaching optimization, effectively enhancing learning outcomes and engagement. However, this process has also revealed several issues. Firstly, technical challenges and limitations hinder AI's ability to fully adapt to each student's individual needs, requiring further improvements in algorithm accuracy and reliability. Secondly, data privacy and security issues have become increasingly prominent, necessitating robust measures to protect student data from misuse and leakage. Lastly, challenges in the educational system and mindset must be addressed, focusing on how to integrate AI technology into traditional education models while maintaining teaching quality. To address these issues, continuous research and development, enhanced data protection, and the updating of educational systems and mindsets are required to fully harness the potential of AI in personalized learning.
