Abstract
This study aims to systematically analyze and identify the key factors that affect university professors' informatization teaching ability to improve talent training quality and promote sustainable development of higher education institutions. Specifically, analyze the impact of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of information technology on this ability, and propose strategies to enhance it. The quantitative research design using a questionnaire survey to collect data from the samples consisted of 269 professors at a university in Shandong province, China. The results indicate that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have a positive influence on university professors' informatization teaching ability. Based on these findings, this study proposes a strategy to improve university professors' informatization teaching ability.
