This study explores the role of educational technology in improving the quality of learning in the digital era, with a special focus on Vocational High Schools (SMK). This literature review aims to identify the benefits, challenges, and best practices of technology in the context of vocational education. Through a review of various academic sources, journal articles, and research reports, this study found that educational technology has great potential to increase student engagement, align the curriculum with industry developments, and strengthen digital skills that are in high demand in the world of work. The results showed that the use of special software, digital simulations, and online learning modules can provide a more interactive and practical learning experience for vocational high school students. Increased student engagement was also noted as one of the main benefits, with technologies such as gamification and interactive simulations successfully increasing motivation and active participation in the learning process. This study also identified the need for dynamic curriculum adjustments, adequate infrastructure support, and training for teachers to ensure effective implementation of technology. In addition, this study highlighted several challenges, including disparities in access to technology, the need for teacher training, and concerns about data security and privacy. This study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between the government, educational institutions, the technology industry, and the community to create an inclusive and sustainable education ecosystem. Overall, this study concludes that educational technology has a vital role in transforming learning in vocational schools, provided that the existing challenges can be overcome through a holistic and collaborative approach. Thus, the integration of educational technology in vocational schools not only improves the quality of learning but also prepares students to face the demands of the world of work in the digital era.
