This action research explores how a digital empowerment program can enhance the digital teaching capabilities of elementary and junior high school teachers, assessing its impact on teaching quality and student learning outcomes. Against the backdrop of rapid technological advancements and the pandemic, digital learning has become mainstream, yet teachers' digital teaching skills vary greatly. In response, a city implemented a comprehensive plan in the 112th academic year to improve teaching professionalism and curriculum quality, establishing a digital learning work circle to enhance teachers' classroom digital technology application skills.

Using action research methodology, the study designed and implemented a series of digital teaching training activities, involving teachers from the city’s elementary and junior high schools. Tools included surveys, interviews, teaching observations, video recordings, and reflective journals, with both qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The action plan comprised three phases: needs assessment and current status analysis, digital technology application training, and implementation of digital open classes and workshops. Results indicated significant improvements in teachers' digital teaching abilities, leading to enhanced teaching quality and student learning outcomes. Teachers reported positive impacts of digital tools on teaching and increased classroom interaction and student interest. The study recommends enhanced support for teacher digital training, continuous digital teaching support systems in schools, and promotion of teacher experience sharing. This research underscores the importance of digital teaching in modern education and highlights the efforts and successes of teachers in improving their digital teaching skills.
