The samples were 30 first year undergraduate students in Industrial Management, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University who were used by simple random method. The study tools included: 1) information technology skills exercise 2) Achievement Test. The statistics used for analyzing the data were percentage, mean, standard deviation, E₁/E₂, E.I. The hypothesis was tested by using dependent samples t-test.
The results of the study were as follows:
1. The results of the assessment of the appropriateness of the skill set created were found to be at the highest level (=4.68) and the skill set that was created that was effective 84.81 / 82.89, with efficiency higher than the criteria set at 80/80.
2. The results of the effectiveness index of the skills set showed that the effectiveness index of its that was 0.6969, indicating that learners had more skills and abilities in using the skills set of information technology in industrial management. 69.69 percent.
3. Comparison of learning achievement before and after using the developed skills training model, it was found that the posttest scores were significantly higher than before learning at the level of .05.
