Abstract

The development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has transformed the education landscape, expanded the scope of the teaching and learning process beyond the traditional classroom. Although the utilization of technology in education brings many benefits, there are still challenges in ensuring that teachers have the necessary skills and knowledge to use it effectively. This research aims to analyze the sustainability of technology utilization training programs for teachers in the post-pandemic era in terms of influencing factors and applicable strategies. The method used is a systematic literature review following the PRISMA guidelines. After analysis, 35 articles were found to be relevant to the topic. The results indicate that factors such as relevant training materials, trainer capabilities, and participant engagement play crucial roles. Recommended strategies include online-based approaches, hierarchical training, and the formation of teacher communities. The roles of school principals, educational departments, and school communities are also crucial in supporting the sustainability of training programs. Thus, collaboration between various parties and the implementation of appropriate strategies are key in maintaining the sustainability of technology utilization training programs for teachers in the post-pandemic era.
