Abstract

This research wants to explain the technological literacy abilities of vocational school students in automotive learning using a minicar vehicle simulator. Descriptive method was used in this research. The research period is January-June 2025. The research was conducted at a state vocational high school in Bandung and Cimahi of the city. The samples came from nine groups (schools) of students as a population, then group was taken as a sample with a total sample of 360 students. Data collection techniques use tests. The test is a technological literacy test on basic vehicle knowledge aspects. Technological literacy has indicators of the ability to: identify problems, explain phenomena and utilize scientific evidence. The technological literacy test refers to material about vehicles in general. The research instrument was validated by seven teachers as experts. Data analysis using percentages was carried out by calculating students' correct answers on test. The results of the study show that: (1) Students' technological literacy skills in the aspect of identifying problems achieved 25%, which is classified as "poor"; (2) In the aspect of explaining scientific phenomena, 43% achieved, which is included in the "fairly good" category; (3) In the aspect of using scientific evidence, 32% achieved, which is included in the “not good”.
