Relationship analysis among curriculum, qualification, BOK and task profile in ICT field

ICT is utilized at many aspects of the society and business. Educational institutions and industries are expected to collaborate to build a consistent ecosystem for education, human resource development and fair evaluation of ICT professionals. In this paper, we analyze relationship among ICT curriculum, ICT qualification, ICT bodies of knowledge and various ICT task profiles. Since they are the major components to develop high level ICT professionals, they should be consistently integrated into the ecosystem. Our relationship analysis will be the first step to promote the mutual understanding of the stakeholders and to develop such a large social system. The analysis is carried out utilizing ICTBOK which we have proposed in our previous paper and i-Competency Dictionary (iCD) which the Japanese government proposed in 2014. We clarified the importance as well as the knowledge and skill level requirements of various activities in terms of ICTBOK domain and area.
