About this Research

In 1998, Song conducted a study to further validate the 1986 IBSTPI standards and Atchison’s expert competencies. Song’s study sought to determine whether IT professionals in the field could further classify the complexities of the competencies (Richey Fields, Foxon, Roberts, Spannaus & Spector, 2001; Song, 1998).

In 2000, IBSTPI used the findings from the Atchison and Song studies to develop and validate a newer and broader set of ISD competencies – the 2000 IBSTPI standards. These newer competency standards reflect current practices in the field.

IBSTPI developed and validated the 2000 IBSTPI standards.

In 1996, the National Workforce Center for Emerging Technologies (NWCET) identified eight information technology career clusters and skill standards (NWCET, 2003). NWCET identified and updated the skill standards with new and emerging workforce job roles, technical knowledge, and related foundational skills (NWCET, 2003). The instructional design role and several other job roles required of IT professionals, were included in job classifications for information technology (InfoTech) professionals.
