Abstract

Agricultural productivity is closely related to farmer behavior that supports productivity and can be developed by providing the necessary agricultural innovation information. Communication of agricultural innovations in extension can utilize software and hardware based on information and communication technology (ICT). The purpose of this study was to analyze extension workers' responses to ICT developments, the training materials needed, and design training designs to increase extension workers' competence. The research was designed using a survey method. Respondents were determined by random sampling obtained through a structured interview technique using an online instrument with the Google Form format. The data were processed using cross-tabulation techniques and analyzed using descriptive methods. Validation of the training design through a focus group discussion approach. The results showed that: (1) the response of extension workers to the development of information and communication technology was quite good; (2) training materials for increasing the competency of extension workers include digital-based ICT operations, making digital extension materials, digital-based ICT operational principles, and assembling digital-based ICT devices. (3) ICT training design is a series of detailed and sequential activities from preparation to identifying training needs, implementation, evaluation, and finally design reconstruction.
