for the workplace; d) ICT increases the quality of 
education process and learning outcome; and e) ICT 
turns learning environment into learner-centered of 
learning (Aktaruzzaman, 2011). 
Based on the description above, the use of the 
ICT has many benefits for education, namely: 1) 
display of multimedia in ICT can improve the 
retentive memory of students, 2) teachers can easily 
explain complex instructions and ensure students’ 
comprehension, 3) teachers are able to create 
interactive and active classses and present the lesson 
more enjoyable, 4) improve students attendance and 
concentration, 4) removing the fear of students to 
some subjects that abstract and considered difficult, 
and 5) improving student achievement. 
ICT Competence for teacher has been vey 
important in this era. So that, Indonesia Government 
has determined the ICT competencies as one of the 
skills that must be mastered by the teacher 
(Regulation of National Education Minister  No. 16, 
2007). The use of the ICT in education has 
supported some characteristics of curriculum 2013. 
Such as, suggesting the communication from 
anywhere, to anywhere, emphasizing the importance 
of cooperation and collaboration in solving 
problems, increasing attention of educators (Wang & 
Woo, 2007).  
On the other hand, the ICT functions can not be 
claimed will replace the role of the teacher. ICT is 
just a tool introductory message or one of the 
students' learning facilities. Therefore, teachers need 
to keep active in guiding the process of learning 
activities. The position of ICT in the communication 
system can be described as follows (H. H. Batubara, 
2015).

The need and urgency for developing 
technological literacy, although not a new idea, 
emerged with greater emphasis in the early 1980’s. 
With this increasing awareness and interest, 
technology quickly was recognized as a powerful 
vehicle for offering educators innovative ways to 
enhance student learning. In the early 1990’s the 
International Society for Technology in Education, 
ISTE established standards defining technological 
literacy for teacher education. ICTs are a potentially 
powerful tool for extending educational 
opportunities, both formal and non-formal, to 
previously underserved constituencies – scattered 
and rural populations, groups traditionally excluded 
from education due to cultural or social reasons such 
as ethnic minorities, girls and women, persons with 
disabilities, and the elderly, as well as others who for 
reasons of cost or because of time constraints are 
unable to enrol on campus (Aktaruzzaman, 2011). 
The systematic of ICT integration into teaching 
and learning is divided into three areas, namely: (1) 
design planning, (2) creating learning media, and (3) 
using in teaching and learning. According to 
Sukiman, the components of integrating ICT to 
create lesson plan are consists of: (1) analyzing the 
needs and characteristics of students, (2) formulating 
standard competencies and indicators of learning 
outcomes, (3) developing subjects content, (4) 
formulating assessment instrument, and (5) writing 
story board. The components of ICT integration in 
creating learning media are consists of a teacher's 
ability in : (1) operating application of graphic 
design, audio, video, and animation, (2) blended 
media component using the computer application, 
and (3) evaluating product based on the principles of 
ICT media development (Sukiman, 2012). There are 
some general principles in creating ICT are: 1) 
Visible: easy viewing, 2) Interesting, 3) Simple, 4) 
Useful for students or users, and 5) Accurate: true 
and on target, 6) Legitimate: legitimate and 
reasonable, 7) Structured: well structured, and 8) 
coherent (Aqib, 2013). 
According to Totok A. Soefijanto, education 
observer of Paramadina Public Policy Institute, the 
use of ICT in Indonesia school is still about 20 
percent. Even less in Elementary School (Admin, 
2015). The factors that affect elementary teachers’ 
decision to integrate ICT in education are limited 
teacher to join training in ICT integration, technical 
support, pedagogical support, access to technology 
resources, teachers’ skill in using multiple ICT tools 
and skills (Hafez, 2013). 
The result of initial study on Elementary teachers 
as participant training interactive media showed that 
most elementary schools already have facilities that 
support the use of ICT. So, the purpose of this study 
is to explore teachers’ competencies in ICT 
integration in creating lesson plan, creating learning 
media, and teaching and learning process, This study 
is important to be done in order to know and to map 
the teachers’ competence so the data can use as a 
tool to increase the teachers’ competence.
