Development of ICT Competency Domains for Undergraduate Students in Thailand

Abstract

This study aimed to develop necessary competency domains on information and communication technology (ICT) for undergraduate students in Thailand. Using questionnaires and focus group discussion as data collection, the qualitative analysis was conducted with 2 steps: 1) explore the experts' opinions on the competency domains and 2) hold a group discussion of experts to approve the domains. Through purposive sampling, the key informants of both research steps were the 9 experts on Information and Communication Technology, Computer Technology, Computer Education, Computer Science, and Computer Engineering from both public and private higher education institutions with at least 10 years of relevant field experience. Closed-ended and open-ended questionnaires were employed to preliminarily confirm and conclude the ICT competency domains, respectively. The acquired data were analyzed in frequency, percentage, typology, and taxonomy. The findings revealed 7 expert-concluded key ICT competency domains, 2 components, and 56 variables. The results of this study are to be used in a further confirmatory factor analysis during the next phase of the study.
