Data Literacy Framework for Thailand Government Officers

Abstract

Data has become a crucial element powering the fourth industrial revolution, making it more important than ever for employees at various organizations to be able to work with data. The value of data literacy is rapidly increasing across the globe. According to Forrester's research, by 2025, approximately 70% of employees are expected to work extensively with data, up from only 40% in 2018. Organizations that integrate data literacy into their workplace culture will have a competitive advantage in the increasingly complex global economy. Therefore, The Objective of this study is to develop a data literacy framework that covers all job positions for government officers in Thailand. This will be based on a gap analysis from international data literacy standards and national digital literacy standards to enhance the data skills of government officers. Additionally, required courses and related skills will be analyzed and synthesized from various frameworks with international standards on digital and data skills, and a gap analysis will also be performed to identify the most suitable data knowledge framework for government agencies.
