Abstract: This study explores the integration of digital technology in higher vocational mathematics instruction in Shandong Province, aiming to enhance teaching quality and student learning outcomes. The research follows a four-stage process, starting with identifying key problems and solutions through a literature review and Delphi method. A digital technology integration model was then designed, followed by validation through two independent-sample t-tests to assess its effectiveness in improving student mathematics scores. Additionally, focus group discussions were conducted to evaluate and optimize the model. The results show that the model significantly improved student performance in mathematics, with the experimental group showing a marked increase in post-test scores compared to the control group. This study provides practical insights into how digital technology can be integrated into vocational education and offers recommendations for its wider application in mathematics instruction. The findings contribute to the ongoing efforts to modernize educational practices and improve student engagement and achievement in higher vocational institutions.
