Abstract
In this paper, the authors conducted small-scale research to determine the awareness, utilization, and barriers of school teachers, especially for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) teachers in using Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). In Indonesia, the utilization of applications and operating systems in educational institutions are still dependent on popular software, it makes the process of learning in schools often mentions the names or brands of certain software that are often used and are usually proprietary. In recent years, several parties have started the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) movement to break the notion of using Proprietary software, FOSS is starting to be seen by users because of it’s affordability and freedom to use and contribute to developing software together. There are many FOSS that is often used such as Ubuntu, Mozilla Firefox, Moodle, OJS, and many more. The Indonesian government also encourages the use of FOSS in some institutions that have been introduced to FOSS. in this research, the author uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey method, it takes a sample from a population and uses a questionnaire as the main data aid. As a result, many obstacles were found that made teachers and students reluctant to use FOSS in their education, such as lack of knowledge, lack of training, availability of technology, and awareness of it.

Summary
Transformasi digital memungkinkan guru dapat mengemas dan menyampaikan ilmu pengetahuan dengan berbagai cara. Lisensi produk FOSS memungkinkan pengguna untuk menggunakan, mempelajari, memodifikasi, dan/atau menyebarkan perangkat lunak FOSS secara bebas (Free Open Source Foundation 2014). Hambatan tersebut meliputi (1)Biaya migrasi dan operasi, (2)kekurangan sumber daya; (3)kepuasan dengan produk perangkat lunak yang ada; (4)faktor manusia seperti pengguna yang skeptis atau resisten terhadap perubahan; (5)ketidaksesuaian perangkat keras; (6)kurangnya informasi produk FOSS; (7)kurangnya pengetahuan kasus tentang keberhasilan adopsi FOSS oleh organisasi serupa; (8)birokrasi dalam pengambilan keputusan TIK (Putratama dan Ali 2020). Beberapa negara dengan status penggunaan FOSS diberikan di bawah ini: Eropa telah menjadi pusat dari sejumlah besar pengembang dan proyek FOSS Lisensi Publik Uni Eropa (EUPL) membuka jalan ke fondasi banyak platform komunitas yang mendukung pengembangan FOSS, misalnya, Open Source Observatory and Repository (OSOR.eu) adalah inisiatif pemenang penghargaan yang menawarkan seperangkat alat Web 2.0 FOSS yang direkomendasikan yang digunakan untuk kolaborasi sosial. Data yang terkumpul akan dianalisis statistik deskriptif dengan menggunakan perhitungan persentase dan frekuensi
