Moving beyond the prevailing teacher-centric paradigm, this study innovatively examines this issue through the lens of student developmental needs, grounded in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory. Empirical data collected from rural teachers and students in Guangxi, China, reveals a pronounced structural misalignment: while students exhibit strong developmental needs for cybersecurity, personalized respect, and digital self-actualization, teachers demonstrate systemic deficiencies in the corresponding dimensions of digital literacy. This supply-demand gap is further compounded by the evolving nature of student needs across educational stages. The study concludes that enhancing rural teachers' digital literacy requires a fundamental shift towards a demand-driven, student-centered approach. It accordingly proposes strategic recommendations for establishing a precision training system, implementing differentiated support across educational stages, and integrating equity education with local cultural elements to effectively bridge this critical gap.  \nKEYWORDS  \nRural Teachers, Digital Literacy, Student Developmental Needs, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory, Enhancement Strategies  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nWhile digital transformation increases demands on rural teachers' digital literacy, existing research remains largely teacher-centric, neglecting student development needs. This study addresses the gap by adopting Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to empirically explore how student needs can guide teacher digital literacy development, proposing a needs-oriented pathway for rural education transformation.  \n2. LITERATURE REVIEW  \nA review of existing literature reveals a predominant focus on the value, challenges, and enhancement strategies of rural teachers' digital literacy from institutional and teacher-centric perspectives, with a notable scarcity of research investigating this issue through the lens of student developmental needs.  \n2.1 The Value of Rural Teachers' Digital Literacy  \nAs a core element driving the digital transformation and high-quality development of rural education, the value of digital literacy among rural teachers is multi-faceted: from the perspective of educational equity, it enables teachers to transcend geographical limitations and integrate high-quality urban resources through platforms like \"Dual-Teacher Classrooms,\" thereby narrowing the urban-rural resource gap and bridging the \"digital divide,\" as highlighted by Yang et al. (2024) and confirmed by Zhao (2024); in teaching practice, Ma(2024) indicates that high-level digital literacy supports the use of big data for personalized instruction and innovative teaching models, enhancing classroom efficiency and enabling precise regulation; ultimately, for teacher  \nprofessional development, Xie Ji et al. (2024) propose that digital technology provides accessible online channels for continuous skill iteration .  \n2.2 Practical Challenges of Rural Teachers' Digital Literacy  \nHowever, the development of digital literacy among rural teachers faces multiple challenges: at the intrinsic motivation level, Gong et al. (2025) note that some teachers influenced by traditional concepts view digital technology merely as an auxiliary tool, demonstrating low training participation willingness and insufficient time/energy due to heavy workloads; at the competency level, Yu and Zhang (2024) survey of 1,127 Henan teachers revealed overall low digital literacy (average 2.873/5), with particular weaknesses in digital social responsibility (2.458) and application skills (2.724), while Quaicoe & Pata's (2020) Ghana study showed a pronounced disconnect between teac","cbCaihzpkPHl6frG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihzpkPHl6frG","pdf",1218132,"English","# Introduction\n# Literature Review\n## The Value of Rural Teachers' Digital Literacy\n## Practical Challenges of Rural Teachers' Digital Literacy\n## Practical Pathways of Rural Teachers' Digital Literacy\n# Research Design\n## Theoretical Foundation","[{\"question\":\"What gap does the study address in rural teachers’ digital literacy research?\",\"answer\":\"Existing research is largely teacher-centric and neglects student developmental needs.
