Abstract： Purpose/Significance In the context of Artificial Intelligence + and Digital Education , many primary and secondary school students have already started using smartphones for information searching and leisure entertainment. However, there is still a lack of extensive research on the current situation of smartphone usage among primary school students and their digital literacy. This study conducts a survey on digital habits and digital literacy among primary school students in China, comparing samples from developed and underdeveloped regions, with the aim to provide a basis for the design of information technology curricula for primary school students and to offer suggestions for improving digital literacy in the new era. Research Design/Method This study collected data on the digital habits and digital literacy of upper primary school students using a questionnaire survey method, resulting in 701 valid responses. Based on this, methods such as descriptive statistics, difference testing, clustering, and text encoding were used to describe and compare the current situation of digital habits and literacy among primary school students. Conclusion/Findings Primary school students exhibit rich and good digital habits and have a certain level of digital literacy, but there is room for improvement in digital skills, digital awareness, and digital learning intentions. Significant differences are also noted between students from underdeveloped and developed regions. Innovation/Value This research fills the gap in surveys on digital habits and literacy among primary school students and proposes suggestions for cultivating correct digital habits and improving digital education policies.
