This study reveals the current status, future trends and challenges of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) teacher information and communications technology (ICT) competencies driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the fourth industrial revolution technologies through bibliometric and thematic analyses of 67 papers since 1960. Despite progress, the field still lacks core productivity and international cooperation. The study shows that while educational interventions have improved TVET teachers’ ICT competencies, the effect is not always ideal due to multiple factors. Insufficient attention to TVET teachers needs to be guarded against in the post-pandemic era, and future research will require interdisciplinary collaboration to further improve the TVET teacher ICT competencies framework and continuous development system in order to cope with changing educational needs and technological advances.
