Abstract

The article explores the impact of Digitalization 4.0 and the global pandemic on human civilization, emphasizing the pivotal role of Information Technology (IT) in Vocational Secondary Education. With a focus on State Vocational Schools in Baguala District, Ambon City, the study's objectives include describing IT availability, teacher motivation, and student learning outcomes, as well as investigating the individual and combined influences of IT availability and teacher motivation on student learning outcomes. Conducting research with 112 teachers from SMK Negeri 3 and SMK Negeri 6 Ambon, the study employs probability sampling, questionnaires, and documentation studies. Descriptive and inferential analyses reveal perceived low IT availability (50.90%, average value: 79.08), medium teacher motivation (48.21%, average value: 167.31), and good learning outcomes (69.64%, average value: 75.08). The t-test results demonstrate significant influences of IT availability (X₁) (4.877, 17.80%) and teacher motivation (X₂) (3.692, 11.00%) on student learning outcomes, with a substantial combined effect (27.10%). In conclusion, the research underscores the necessity of enhancing IT availability to foster competent vocational school graduates aligned with the demands of the digital era and evolving employment landscapes. The findings contribute to understanding the dynamic interplay between IT, teacher motivation, and student learning outcomes in the context of Vocational Secondary Education.
