The results indicated that the ICT utilization in the learning as pedagogical and profesional competencies significantly influenced toward the professionalism of chemistry teachers with the sig. 0,000<α = 0.05. Simultaneously, the use of ICT in the learning as a pedagogical competence and the ICT utilization in communicating and developing themselves as professional competencies had a significant effect on supporting the professionalism of high school chemistry teachers that was indicated by the analysis result of the F 0,000 test probability value. It was smaller than α = 0.05.
