Abstract


Skills for teachers in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills are crucial because they represent a facet of their creativity in manipulating applications to entice students to focus more on their teaching and learning processes. Numerous instructors and pupils were ill-equipped to utilize virtual classrooms, especially during the pandemic outbreak. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between teachers' ICT knowledge (TPACK Model) and utilization (TAM Model) in the field of refrigeration and air conditioning as one of the educational topics in science during the implementation of online home-based learning at Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions. The level of teachers' ICT knowledge and utilization was determined. The results indicated that these instructors had a comprehensive comprehension of and proficiency with ICT. Overall, teachers have a high level of ICT knowledge and ICT usage. In addition, there is indicated a moderately strong correlation between ICT knowledge and usage among TVET teachers at this institution. The results of the study indicate that teachers' ICT knowledge influences their adoption of ICT usage.
