Abstract

The objectives of this research were to develop the ICT competency assessment framework for preparing the labor on new S-Curve industries in Eastern Special Development Zone by asking for opinions from 19 experts using modified e-Delphi procedure, using the consensus measurement procedure with rough set theory, and ranking and weighing up principles, criteria, and indicators with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) by six experts.  The results were as follows: the development of the ICT competency assessment framework for preparing the labor on new S-Curve industries in Eastern Special Development Zone included the four principles; nine criteria; 22 indicators; and 105 verifiers. The third principle, which is Application of Information and Communication Technology, has the most important weight at 47.1%, followed by the fourth principle, Integration of Information and Communication Technology, at 24.0%, the second principle, Information and Communication Technology Skills, at 21.7%, and the first principle, Knowledge and Understanding of Information and Communication Technology, at 7.2% respectively with the consistency ratio of 3.8% (CR < 10%).
