Abstract

Knowledge of technological developments and understanding and application of technology are very important in this era. Teachers as the main actors in the process of education in schools need to get more attention through systematic training and education activities in the mastery of Information Technology and Computers (ICT). This study aims to get preliminary information about IT Literacy perceptions and knowledge of elementary school teachers throughout Ternate City, as well as obtain elementary knowledge profiles of elementary teachers regarding IT literacy. This study uses survey research methods with a quantitative approach. Data collection techniques used are by distributing questionnaires and conducting interviews on predetermined samples in 25 schools with teacher samples at each school determined randomly. Data analysis is calculated based on the number of checklists filled in by the respondent, then percentage to determine the level of perception of each teacher. The results showed that the highest ability of teachers in operating Microsoft Office was in primary schools in the central and northern areas of Ternate City, namely 58% and 50% respectively. While the average IT ability of supporting elementary school teachers has not met the standard, which is <50%. The basic IT literacy skills of teachers are also still low, at 56%. Researcher's recommendation is the need for IT training for elementary school teachers in the 4 districts of Ternate city, and ongoing mentoring so that the learning process becomes quality and student learning outcomes increase.
