This study aimed to examine the level of needs for developing information technology skills among educational personnel in the Bureau of Technology for Teaching and Learning, under the Office of the Basic Education Commission. It also aimed to compare the levels of needs for developing information technology skills in three areas: computer skills, communication systems, and network technology. The sample for the study consisted of 52 educational personnel, selected according to Krejcie and Morgan's sampling table. The data collection tool was a Likert scale questionnaire created by the researcher, which had a consistency index ranging from 0.60 to 1.00 and an overall reliability coefficient of 0.99. The statistics used for data analysis included percentage, mean, standard deviation, F-test, and pairwise comparison using the Scheffé method.

The results of the study indicated that, overall, the development of information technology skills among educational personnel in the Bureau of Technology for Teaching and Learning for teaching purposes at Wat Ban Chung School (Isara Wittaya),Saraburi Primary Educational Service Area Office 1, was at a moderate level. When analyzed by category in descending order of mean scores, computer skills ranked highest, followed by communication systems, and finally, network technology. The overall level of needs for developing information technology skills showed no significant differences. However, a comparison by specific area revealed that computer skills among educational personnel significantly differed at the 0.05 level in only one aspect.
