The nature of ICT in technology convergence: A knowledge-based network analysis.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to understand the nature of information and communication technology in technology convergence. We form a knowledge network by applying social network theories to Korean patent data collected from the European Patent Organization. A knowledge network consists of nodes representing technology sectors identified by their International Patent Classification codes and edges that link International Patent Classification codes when they appear concurrently in a patent. We test the proposed hypotheses using four indices (degree centrality, E-I index, entropy index, and clustering coefficient). The results show that information and communication technology is easily attached but tends to converge with similar technology and has the greatest influence on technology convergence over other technologies. This study is expected to help practitioners and policymakers understand the structure and interaction mechanisms of technology from a systematic perspective and improve national-level technology policies.

Project description:This research aimed to demonstrate the existence of innovation in an evaluation model that is called the D escription- I nput- V erification- A ction- Y ack- A nalysis- N ominate- A ctualization (DIVAYANA) model as an evaluation model for the implementation of information technology-based learning at ICT vocational schools. This model can be used to determine the recommendation priority given to policy-makers to make decisions to optimize the implementation of information technology-based learning at the ICT vocational schools. This research was included in development research, with development stages that follow the Borg and Gall model design, which only focused on five stages. The five stages, included: research and information collecting, planning, develop preliminary form of product, preliminary field test, and main product revision. The subjects who were involved in the preliminary field test of the DIVAYANA model were 14 teachers from several ICT vocational schools in Bali. Determination of the research subject used purposive sampling technique. The reason for using this sampling technique is to make it easier to find subjects who understand and have critical thinking about the evaluation model. This research was carried out at ICT vocational schools in five districts in Bali province. The reason for choosing a research place at ICT vocational school is to show valid evidence that the DIVAYANA evaluation model is suitable for evaluating the information technology-based learning process at the level of vocational school. The data collection tools in the preliminary field test were questionnaires. The analysis technique that was used to analyze the quantitative data from the preliminary field test in this research was quantitative descriptive. The result of this research was in the form of effectiveness percentage level of the DIVAYANA model was 88.571%, so that this model was able to be categorized as an evaluation model that effective for information technology-based learning at ICT vocational schools.
