Abstract

This paper aims to provide an overview of the information and communication technology (ICT) literacy skills of Vocational High School (SMK) teachers in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0. The development of this era is marked by the digitization of internet-based information and the use of artificial intelligence, which requires teachers to have ICT literacy competencies so that they can prepare their students to have a 21st century competitive advantage. This paper answers questions about what ICT literacy competence means, what is its urgency, what is the level of information and communication technology (ICT) literacy skills of SMK teachers; and how to improve teachers' ICT literacy competencies. The method of writing is descriptive qualitative through literature review obtained from scientific journals and related books. The results of the discussion show that the average ICT literacy skills of SMK teachers are still classified as low - medium. A number of efforts are needed as a solution to improve the ICT literacy skills of SMK teachers.
