Abstract

E-schoolbag, as an important information technology application in the field of education in China, not only promote students’ learning, but also have a positive effect on the teaching of teachers. In order to understand the impact of e-schoolbag on the professional development of teachers, this study used the feedback data of 1004 Chinese teachers collected in the 2016 e-Schoolbag package pilot project in S city of China, and analyzed the impact of e-Schoolbag on the professional development of teachers from the perspective of teachers. We mainly examine the two dimensions of teaching ability and information literacy. The results showed that teachers generally think that the application of e-Schoolbag promotes the development of their professional abilities. However, some factors, such as teaching ages and the length of application of e-Schoolbag, may cause certain degrees of effect on teachers’ perception of e-Schoolbag on their professional development.
