description Teachers play an essential role in the success of school media literacy programs. This study analyzes teachers' current perceptions of media literacy competence in junior high schools in West Java, Indonesia. Descriptive research methods have been used to describe and summarize data using statistical techniques. The sample consisted of 381 respondents obtained using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was obtained from questionnaires distributed through online platforms. The results analyze teachers' perceptions of their knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards media literacy. Teachers understand this concept strongly, recognizing that it goes beyond traditional literacy concepts, including reading and writing. Expertise is also demonstrated in accessing various forms of media. However, media skills are still relatively weak in content analysis and integration into teaching practice because teachers lack the necessary skills to integrate concepts into their teaching practice effectively. A particularly positive attitude towards this concept, recognizing the ability to equip students with the 21st-century skills necessary for today and the future. The research implications describe their literacy conditions as a basis for developing media literacy education.   Abstrak Guru memegang peranan penting dalam keberhasilan program literasi media di sekolah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis persepsi guru saat ini terhadap kompetensi literasi media di sekolah menengah pertama di Jawa Barat, Indonesia. Metode penelitian deskriptif digunakan untuk mendeskripsikan dan merangkum data dengan menggunakan teknik statistik. Sampel berjumlah 381 responden yang diperoleh dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data diperoleh dari kuesioner yang disebar melalui platform online. Hasilnya menganalisis persepsi guru saat ini mengenai pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan sikap mereka terhadap literasi media. Para guru memiliki pemahaman yang kuat tentang konsep ini, menyadari bahwa konsep ini melampaui konsep literasi tradisional yang mencakup membaca dan menulis. Keahliannya juga ditunjukkan dalam mengakses berbagai bentuk media. Namun, keterampilan media masih relatif lemah dalam bidang analisis isi dan integrasi ke dalam praktik mengajar karena guru kurang memiliki keterampilan yang diperlukan untuk secara efektif mengintegrasikan konsep ke dalam praktik mengajar mereka. Sikap yang sangat positif terhadap konsep ini, mengakui kemampuan membekali siswa dengan keterampilan abad ke-21 yang diperlukan untuk saat ini dan masa depan. Implikasi penelitian tersebut menggambarkan kondisi literasi mereka sebagai landasan dalam mengembangkan pendidikan literasi media. Kata Kunci: Literasi media; persepsi guru; sekolah menengah pertama
