Abstract

            This research and development study focused on the development of ICT competency development system for the information stability and security.  The specific objectives of the study attempted to 1) examine the government officials’ information needs for ICT competency development system, 2) develop ICT competency development system, 3) determine its effectiveness, 4) investigate the officials’ opinions on the system, and 5) evaluate and certify it by the ICT experts. 

          The study sample comprised 10 purposively selected ICT instructional experts, 30 officials from the Division of the Internal Security Operation Command selected by systematic random sampling, and 5 ICT experts in evaluating and certifying the system.  The research instruments included 1) the ICT competency development system for the information stability and security, 2) questionnaires eliciting current conditions and problems of, opinions toward, and needs for the system, 3) interview forms, 4) pre and post tests for the sample, 5) questionnaires soliciting the participants’ opinions on the system, and 6) assessment forms for certifying the system by the experts.  The statistics used for analyzing the collected data consisted of E1/ E2, mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t-test.  The findings revealed that:

1. The ICT competency development system for information stability and security comprised 6 components: 1) context analysis, 2) input availability checking, 3) related content learning, 4) experience sharing and content learning feedback, 5) the system testing, and 6) the system checking and improvement.
2. The set of the ICT competency development system attained its efficiency standard at 85/85 which was equivalent to 85.74/86/33.

1. The participants’ opinions on the learning based on the system process were found to be at the highest level at x¯ = 4.50.

       4.  The evaluation and certification of the suitability of the system was also found to be at the maximum  level at x¯ = 4.81.
