The information revolution created today has created increased information and various learning resources. The existence of these developments causes teachers to need to re-identify how modern learning strategies and the application of teaching methods are primarily for teachers in vocational schools. This study was conducted to identify the reality of using modern learning strategies in teaching vocational education at the basic stage from the point of view of vocational education teachers in Jordan, where a descriptive analytical approach is used, and to achieve the objectives of the study and answers. In this study the method used is descriptive analytical method using a questionnaire as an instrument for research. Questionnaires were distributed online to research respondents who are teachers who teach in vocational schools. The results of the study found that the use of modern strategies in the educational process has a positive impact on students, in addition to the statistically significant differences between teachers who use modern learning strategies in teaching compared to teachers who apply traditional teaching methods. For further research, the authors recommend managing learning materials to facilitate and improve the implementation of active learning strategies.
