In the era of digital education transformation, teachers’ comprehensive literacy integrating digital technology and cultural cognition has become a key variable affecting the quality of classical poetry teaching. Based on the improved Culture-DPACK theoretical framework, this study constructs a multi-dimensional influence mechanism model of teachers’ digital-cultural literacy on Chinese classical poetry teaching effect. Through questionnaire survey and path analysis of 426 Chinese teachers in primary and secondary schools, this study systematically explores the direct path, indirect path and regulatory boundary of digital-cultural literacy acting on poetry teaching effect. The research results show that teachers’ five-dimensional literacy of Culture-DPACK (intrinsic knowledge literacy, traditional pedagogical literacy, digital literacy, digital humanities pedagogical literacy, general cultural literacy) all have significant positive predictive effects on classical poetry teaching effect. Among them, digital humanities pedagogical literacy has the strongest direct influence, and general cultural literacy plays a core mediating role in transforming technical ability into teaching quality. Classroom cultural immersion and digital teaching adaptation present significant dual regulatory effects. This study clarifies the internal logical relationship between teachers’ literacy structure and poetry teaching practice, expands the application boundary of the Culture-DPACK framework in traditional cultural teaching, and provides empirical support and optimization paths for the digital and high-quality development of Chinese classical poetry teaching.

Introduction 1.1 Background of Teaching Reform: Digital Empowerment for Traditional Poetry Inheritance Chinese classical poetry is a treasure of traditional Chinese culture, condensing the aesthetic connotation, humanistic spirit and historical heritage of the Chinese nation. It occupies an irreplaceable core position in Chinese curriculum teaching and cultural inheritance education. In the context of the new curriculum reform, basic education has clearly put forward the educational goal of “cultivating students’ cultural confidence and humanistic literacy”, and higher requirements have been placed on the depth and effectiveness of classical poetry teaching. Traditional classical poetry teaching mostly adopts the teaching mode of text interpretation, sentence translation and mechanical memorization, which is limited by single teaching method and shallow cultural excavation[1-3]. It is difficult to activate students’ perceptual experience of poetic aesthetics and cultural connotation, resulting in the disconnection between poetry teaching and cultural inheritance, and the dilemma of “memorization without comprehension, learning without appreciation” in teaching practice. With the comprehensive penetration of digital education technologies such as big data, virtual simulation and intelligent classroom, digital transformation has become an inevitable trend of basic Chinese education. Digital technologies break the time and space limitations of traditional classroom teaching, and provide diversified presentation forms and interactive paths for the display of poetic artistic conception, interpretation of cultural connotation and inheritance of classical aesthetics. However, the empowerment effect of digital technology on poetry teaching is not automatic. The teaching effect depends entirely on teachers’ comprehensive ability to integrate digital technology, cultural cognition and pedagogical skills. Teachers’ digital-cultural literacy, as a compound literacy integrating technical operation, cultural understanding and teaching design, has become the core key to determine whether digital technology can effectively empower classical poetry teaching and realize the deep integration of technical tools and cultural education[4]. 1.2 Research Gaps: Deficiencies in Literacy Mechanism and Framework Application Existing studies on classical poetry teaching mainly focus on three dimensions: teaching method innovation, classroom teaching design and student learning effect optimization. Most studies explore the application effect of single digital technology in poetry teaching, or discuss the teaching strategies of cultural infiltration in poetry classroom. In terms of teacher literacy research, domestic and foreign scholars mostly focus on the independent research of digital teaching literacy or traditional cultural literacy, and there is a lack of systematic research on the compound digital-cultural literacy adapted to traditional cultural teaching. In particular, the internal influence mechanism of teachers’ multi-dimensional literacy on poetry teaching effect is still unclear, and there is a lack of empirical path verification based on mature theoretical frameworks. The Culture-DPACK framework, as an improved theoretical system based on the traditional TPACK model for Chinese language teaching scenarios, constructs a multi-dimensional literacy structure integrating knowledge, pedagogy, digital technology and cultural cognition, which is highly compatible with the research theme of this study. However, the current application of the Culture-DPACK framework is mostly limited to the scale development and literacy evaluation of Chinese teachers, and there is no in-depth discussion on its internal mechanism acting on specific curriculum teaching effects. In view of this, this study takes the Culture-DPACK framework as the core theoretical support, constructs an influence mechanism model of digital-cultural literacy on classical poetry teaching effect, and verifies the action path and influence intensity of each dimension through empirical analysis, so as to make up for the research gaps in the field of poetry teaching literacy research. 1.3 Research Significance: Theoretical Innovation and Practical Value In terms of theoretical significance, this study expands the application scope of the Culture-DPACK framework from teacher literacy evaluation to curriculum teaching mechanism research, clarifies the multi-dimensional structure of teachers’ digital-cultural literacy in classical poetry teaching scenarios, and reveals the direct, indirect and regulatory paths of each literacy dimension affecting teaching effect. It constructs a systematic theoretical system of “literacy structure-behavior practice-teaching effect” for traditional cultural curriculum teaching, which enriches the theoretical research achievements of digital education and traditional cultural teaching. In terms of practical value, this study verifies the key literacy dimensions and core action paths that affect the quality of classical poetry teaching, provides targeted optimization strategies for teachers’ digital-cultural literacy improvement and poetry digital teaching reform, and helps to solve the practical dilemmas of superficial digital application and insufficient cultural infiltration in current poetry teaching[5]. It provides empirical basis and practical reference for educational administrative departments to formulate teacher training plans and promote the high-quality development of traditional cultural education. 1.4 Research Framework and Technical Route This study follows the
