Analysis of elementary school teachers’ ICT literacy towards online learning in the special region province of Yogyakarta

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) literacy is the ability to understand, access, manage, and use digital technology. ICT literacy plays a vital role in the online learning process. This study aims to analyze and determine the level of ICT literacy of elementary school teachers grouped by; gender, age, and educational background. The number of subjects in this study was 162 respondents spread across 58 elementary schools in the Province of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The method used is a descriptive quantitative approach with data collection techniques using a questionnaire. The results showed that 93% of teachers already understood using ICT in the online learning process, only 7% of teachers did not use ICT in the learning process. It is known that teachers who have not used ICT still use the manual method, namely giving assignments for one week and collecting them one week later. As for gender, there was no significant difference between the abilities of male and female teachers, and by age and educational background, younger teachers and postgraduate teachers had higher levels of ICT skills. This study suggests the need for support from schools for teachers to master ICT literacy and support from the government and educational institutions to conduct more training to improve the ICT literacy skills of teachers in elementary schools.
