Implementation of Learning Management System (LMS) in the Self-Development of Productive Teachers of Vocational Schools

The development of information technology and computers has an impact on the development of e-learning. Learning Management System (LMS) as one of the software used to manage e-learning in the last decade has been widely used in schools. The implementation of LMS in vocational schools has consequences for vocational school teachers to be able to use LMS in the learning process. To use the LMS, the teacher must have adequate ICT competence so that the learning process can run efficiently and effectively. This study aims to determine the implementation of LMS in the self-development of productive vocational teachers. This research was conducted at the state vocational high schools located in the city of Bandung, Indonesia and has a program of expertise in electrical engineering and electronics engineering. We use a survey method with a qualitative approach and semi-structured interviews and documentation for collecting data. The results of the study show that the implementation of LMS greatly helps the selfdevelopment of productive vocational teachers to improve pedagogic and professional competencies by using ICT in the learning process, although in practice it still faces several problems according to the conditions and abilities of each school.
