Analysis of the Effectiveness of Using School Websites in Disseminating Information for Teachers at State Vocational School 4 Samarinda

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the school website as a medium for internal information dissemination for teachers at SMK Negeri 4 Samarinda. The background of this study is based on the low utilization of the school website for internal communication, even though the navigation and content are considered adequate. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach with a population survey method, involving all full-time teachers as respondents. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale, which included indicators of frequency of access, ease of navigation, completeness of content, information understandability, and user satisfaction level. Analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics by calculating frequencies, percentages, and averages. The results showed that the majority of teachers rarely access the website, with 45% visiting every 1–3 months and 40% every 3–6 months. Navigation was considered easy by 85% of respondents, content was considered complete by 65%, information understandability was high (65% agree, 15% strongly agree), and the level of satisfaction was in the positive category. However, the low frequency of access indicates the need for a more relevant content management strategy, regular updates, and improvement of teachers' digital literacy. The implications of this research provide practical recommendations for schools to optimize websites as a means of inclusive, interactive, and sustainable internal communication.
